apple How much VRAM does the Mac Pro's Vega II Duo actually have?

[thermalgoop]

I've seen a lot of news outlets (TechLinked included) that report the new Mac Pro with the Radeon Pro Vega II Duo as having 32GB VRAM per graphics card. However, Apple's website states that each GPU on the card has 32GB of VRAM, meaning 64GB (or 2 x 32GB as Apple states it) per card and a whopping 128GB of VRAM in a fully clapped out cheese grater. I've heard the VRAM quoted as 64GB total in the infamous ~$50k box from numerous fairly reputable sources, which leaves me a little confused.. It seems as though 128GB of VRAM would be a bigger talking point.
Also, why has nobody even seemed to notice the upcoming Mac Rack?!

I'm preeeeetty sure it's 32GB each, 64GB total for a Duo? They're an un-nerfed RVII with 64CUs instead of a mere 60, and even the RVII has 16GB HBM2. Would make sense for the beefier version to have more VRAM. 

Yep: https://www.amd.com/en/graphics/workstations-radeon-pro-vega-ii

 

Single:

 

Up to 32GB VRAM, 64CU.

 

Duo:

Up to 64GB VRAM, 128CU. 

You can get two of these in a Mac Pro.

I've seen a lot reporting it as 64GB. Techlinked is mistake-prone.

Apparently so. Apple's own site states that the Radeon Pro Vega II they offer has 32GB VRAM, and the Radeon Pro Vega II Duo has 2x32GB. Strange mistake to make, it's not hard to fact check. Misreading of the specs or something?

Maybe a misunderstanding of 32GB per GPU vs. 32GB per card, somewhere along the line.
