Why is AMD's CPU division doing so much better than their GPU division?
>Zen
>Massive success, saves the company
>Vega
>Massive flop
Simple, nobody wants a GPU anymore.
Built in HD graphics is more than enough for 90% of games.
Because somewhere in middle of 2016, almost all the money in the comapny was diverted to getting Zen ready.
Naturally GPU folks suffered.

>middle of 2016
It takes three to four years to bring up a GPU. This is more middle of 2014

Vega taped out summer 2016, but obviously everything that camp after the tapeout suffered.
Which would be validation, drivers, debugging and optimization.
The period after the chip is back from the oven is the most critical part.

RX Vega is not out yet. Only the workstation card (FE) has been released.
