Vega Thread

AMD has applied for a trademark covering what many assume is a logo for Vega 2 graphics. The new mark closely remembers Vega's existing logo, which is essentially just a stylized "V," but with the right side modified to look like the Roman numeral "II." (Or, as the company described it in the trademark application, "a smaller triangle and four alternating light and dark horizontal stripes.") The implication is clear.

All of which means red team faithfuls await graphics news from AMD with bated breath. It's tempting, then, to assume AMD's application for this trademark means it plans to reveal new consumer-focused GPUs sooner than later. But it's worth remembering that companies often apply for trademarks long before they have to use them, or make sure their bases are covered legally even if they never actually release the product. The company might also plan to use this updated logo for the new Radeon Instinct accelerators but not for its upcoming consumer graphics cards.

Does that mean we expect the RX Vega line to be the last of AMD's consumer graphics cards? No, but it does mean that applying for a trademark doesn't necessarily imply a certain timeline, so it's best not to get hopes up. (Of course, us saying that means AMD's probably going to do a surprise debut of its new graphics cards just in time for the holidays or something.) This logo is a breadcrumb to follow; don't mistake it for a true reveal. Especially when people have already raised questions and circulated rumors about what AMD has planned for its next-gen Navi architecture.
