The Vega 10 GPU is significantly larger than the Polaris 10/20 chips that the RX 480 and RX 580 are based on. It features 256 texture mapping units and 64 next generation Vega compute units arranged in two islets,each housing two compute engines. Every compute engine includes twodistinct compute clusters. Each of those clusters features 512 stream processors and 32 texture mapping units. The chip in its entirety hasa total of 4096 stream processors and 256 texture mapping units.

On the front-end side of things there are 64 render output units that make up16 distinct render back-ends that connect to the 2048-bit wide-IO HBM2 memory interface. The whole Vega 10 die sits on an interposer and is stacked in a 2.5D fashion with two HBM2 stacks. Everystack can be configured with up to 8 GB of memory for a total of 16 gigabytes of memory for both stacks.
