You are talking about the upcoming AMD Vega GPU. It's a large 14nm GPU which uses HBM2, and will be likely a competitor to NVidia's GTX 1080 and Titan X. although, I don't know how good the mining on this card will be considering HBM latency is higher than traditional GDDR5, and Ethereum mining requires low latency memory as I've heard.
Looking at past products who use HBM (Fury X), you can tell that the difference HBM makes in the mining capabilities of the card are slim to none. I wasn't able to get anything more than 30MH/s on my Fury X, but was able to to achieve about 33MH/s on the aging R9 290.

Exactly. Thank you very much for your very informative post. It's exactly what I was referring to.
But what a disappointment about HBM... I had seen all those topics with NANO rigs and was sure that HBM was an improvement over GDR5... thank you again for the explanation.
