So I'm guessing this will come out in 2019, have miniscule availability and be price for the "yacht class".

One thing is certain, there will be a heck of lot marketing done off the back of this unicorn and hemming and hawing in forums, I'm sure :)

Come now, it is Polaris 10 based. Inventory clearance.

Fair enough. If they could put two chips together in a self-contained package like the previous couple Powercolor Devils, and sell for under $400 then might be somewhat attractive. Only issue is mGPU is dying fast.
 
It would have been way more interesting if it had a SSD cache onboard for 8K video editing at that price point. At least that option. I would expect that the professional Vega cards for content would have that option with the memory cache.

It's a compute card. It may game but that's not its purpose. Otherwise, why not just get two RX 480s or RX 580s? That route is cheaper than this card.

yup or whatever else pros could use 32GB vram for. its also clocked slower(1234mhz)and its $999 instead of $1500 like the last one.
 
It's dual 16GB ram but unlikely to be seen as a large pool right?
