AMD is going to hit a heat and perhaps a power wall when it comes to Vega. Polaris already runs hot. Cram in that many cores and it's a recipe for disaster. If you thought Hawaii was hot and loud, I would suggest that Vega will take it to another level. My prediction is that AMD is going to have to underclock the card quite a bit to keep the thermals in line, and by doing that the performance is going to really suffer. My prediction is that it will offer performance in between a GTX 1070 and a GTX 1080, and no better than that. And it won't overclock *at all*.
