AMD has made some excellent progress on the CPU front over the past year, with second generation Ryzen processors continuing to impress at all price points. That's great for now, but AMD is also looking to the future, and the future is 7nm.

The first 7nm parts from AMD will be a refined version of Vega, fittingly called Vega 7nm. The initial chips will go in Radeon Instinct cards targeting datacenter environments with a focus on machine learning and compute workloads. AMD also notes that Vega 7nm includes new deep learning operations to help accelerate training and inference applications, perhaps similar to the Tensor cores on Nvidia's Volta architecture.
