The card is built on the same 14nm FinFET node as the rest of the Vega 56/64 lineups. It has 8GB of HBM2 VRAM, a 150W TDP, and will likely come with 56 compute units like the full-fledged Vega 56 reference. With the smaller PCB though, it will only ship with a single fan instead of the triple-fan configuration found on the standard models. According toa prior leak, the card also sports standard power connectors for a RX Vega 56, including an 8-pin and a 6-pin.
It is worth noting that most of the tech specs of the newly-unveiled card remain under the wraps officially, but it’s slated to go on sale later today, so it shouldn’t be long before the full spec-sheet becomes public. Saffire is also said to be working on bringing a Vega 56 nano to the market this year, and while we didn’t hear anything about that at the event, that too, has been rumored to launch this year.
