I don't think AMD has released any firm specs for any Vega GPUs, but if the past 3 years have taught us anything, it's almost certainly just more garbage from a flailing company with no cash for proper R&D (nor talent for that matter.) I would be surprised if it's anything more than GCN with a die shrink. Don't get me wrong, GCN desperately needs a die shrink (especially since AMD has way surpassed the electrical limits of GCN in the past 2 years), but there's no actual innovation happening at AMD and GCN is now a 4-year old architecture. It will take a lot more than a die shrink to actually be competitive with Nvidia.
