AMD to show Vega details on February 28 Capsaicin event

AMD send out a bit more information about next week's Capsaicin & Cream event which will be hosted at the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. Just like last year, the whole thing will be livestreamed over here and the company promises to offer you a glimpse of the latest graphics and processor technologies. The one-hour long live show starts on Tuesday, February 28 at 1:30 PM EST (7:30 PM Central European Time).

The company's invitation explicitly mentions they will be revealing new details about Vega. It's still too early for the Radeon RX 500 or Vega launch but perhaps AMD will use the event to tease the performance of Ryzen some more before the March 2nd availability date.

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced its second annual "Capsaicin Live" webcast and press event on Tuesday, February 28 at 10:30 AM PT (12:30 PM CT/1:30 PM ET) during the 2017 Game Developer Conference, broadcast live from the famed San Francisco theater district.

Hosted by Radeon Technologies Group's Senior Vice President and Chief Architect, Raja Koduri, the show will be a celebration of PC gaming, the technology steering its future, and the developers who work tirelessly to transform their imaginations into tomorrow's blockbuster games.

The one-hour live event will offer PC gaming enthusiasts and developers around the world a preview of AMD's latest graphics and processor technologies, reveal exciting new details surrounding Vega, and showcase the summer's most anticipated PC and VR games from visionary game developers.

Named after the legendary component in chili peppers that adds an addictive kick to spicy foods, "Capsaicin Live" explores the essence and creative power of the graphics processing unit (GPU), evoking the magic that game and VR developers create every day when they turn raw code into exciting, memorable, and addicting experiences.

A real-time video webcast of the event will be accessible on Radeon.com. A replay of the webcast can be accessed a few hours after the conclusion of the live event on the AMD YouTube channel.
