News of a new logo trademark from AMD is making the rounds, with VideoCardz.com spotting the image via Twitter user "BoMbY". Time to speculate!

The logo, with the familiar "V" joined by a couple of new stripes on the right side, could mean a couple of things; with a possible reference to Vega II (2), or perhaps the VII suggests the Roman numeral 7 for 7nm, instead? VideoCardz.com thinks the latter may be the case:
"AMD has registered a new trademark just 2 weeks ago. Despite many rumors floating around about Navi architecture and its possible early reveal or announcement in January, it seems that AMD is not yet done with Vega. The Radeon Vega logo, which features the distinctive V lettering, has now received 2 stripes, to indicate the 7nm die shrink."
Whatever the case may be it's interesting to consider the possibility of a 7nm Vega GPU before we see Navi. We really don't know, though it does seem a bit presumptuous to consider a new product as early as CES, as Tech Radar speculates:
"We know full well that the next generation of AMD graphics will be built upon a 7nm architecture going by the roadmaps the company released at CES 2018. At the same time, it seems to all sync up with AMD's plans to announce new 7nm GPUs at CES 2019, so it almost seems certain that we’ll see Vega II graphics cards soon."
The prospect of new graphics cards is always tantalizing, but we'll need more than a logo before things really get interesting.
Looks like yet another
Looks like yet another die-shrink-plus-clock-bump of Fury. It’d be a good but that, is normalised to the same core clock speed, Fury, Vega and Vega 7nm would perform identically.
But muh 7mm!!!
But muh 7mm!!!
7nm die shrink version of
7nm die shrink version of Vega.. eager to see how it performs. That would give us a clean comparison how much headroom the 7nm alone will grant.
But Josh told me last week
But Josh told me last week there will be no vega on 7nm 🙂
