    I think the official date was "Q2", if so, it would be expected this month or June.

      Michael has a crystal ball that can see into the future ;-). I thought it was pretty common knowledge Vega was anticipated for late May. But we do know that it will come before the end of June with 99% confidence as Lisa Su has recently stated.

        you'll need to use an out-of-tree kernel module or a future AMDGPU-PRO release. The Vega use-cases for now without display support is basically for compute.
        Are there easy to install packages for that kernel module? Or at least instructions how to install it from source?

          Yeah, the official date from AMD is Q2, but there have been a lot of rumors/sources out for a while now that all say Vega is coming the last week of May.

            What this pull does tell us, is most of the specs for the first 3 Vega SKUs:-
            • case CHIP_VEGA10:
            • adev->gfx.config.max_shader_engines = 4;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_tile_pipes = 8;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_cu_per_sh = 16;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_sh_per_se = 1;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_backends_per_se = 4;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_texture_channel_caches = 16;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_gprs = 256;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_gs_threads = 32;
            • adev->gfx.config.max_hw_contexts = 8;

              It tells you that we used the Fiji driver as a starting point for initial Vega code

                Hi Bridgman! Will HCC/HSA stack support Vega on release day?

                Also, when will Vega be on the shelves?

                  ROCM 1.5 (released just recently) includes initial Vega support.

                  I think we are still saying "Q2" for Vega launch.
