AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20

AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20

The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 is a dedicated graphics card for laptops. It was introduced as an option to the 2018 MacBook Pro. The graphics card offers 20 CUs (1,280 shaders) and 4 GB HBM2 memory. The performance should be on a level with the Radeon RX Vega M GL (also 1,280 shaders) and therefore between a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti.
