This card has me most intrigued with Monero mining

AMD seems to beat Nvidia for XMR and I wonder if this card has that push to make XMR mining worth while. Mybe HMB2 memory is bad for Monero, I just know that this doesn't seem to be the ETH dream, that would be the GTX 1070 or the RX480 on a custom rom (high hashes, low power)

We don't know anything at all about Vega, waste of time to even bother speculating at this point.

suppose to be dual gpu 2-480 chips i think.. someone should easily be able to clarify

Vega is a brand new chip, not a dual Polaris card.
I thought the title mentioned 490 originally, cant speculate on just the chip speed though
There is a rumored dual Polaris card called the 490.  We don't know names on Vega cards yet.

Frankly, I don't care on how it will perform on Ethereum but rather on other algorithms. I doubt that it will ever overthrown the queen 1070 though.

RX 470/480 8Hz memory gets ~24-25MH/s Etherum.  Fury X from what I can tell gets ~29-34Mh/s, though memory has 2x the bandwidth.  Would Vega 10 GPU get ~45-50MH since GPU also faster?  From rumors, it will have same 512GB/s memory bandwidth as Fury X, though it will use HBM2 rather than HBM1.

I don't think so. Ethereum requires low latency VRAM, Fiji is more powerful than Hawaii, but it has the same hashrate. Vega might excel in other algorithms, but I doubt it's gonna get any more than 35-40Mh.

I can't find good numbers, best I found was this

There is a new Pseudo Channel mode that will lower latency, and effective bandwidth, not sure how much though, or how much this currently effects Ethereum on Fury cards.
