nVidia are also playing with a lot more money than RTG.

And then they spend a few months building up stock, maybe?

They also announced that 7nm Vega would be releasing sooner than it did, so who knows. Things can slip.

More Navi rumours Navi 12 Segment - Mid-range (performance like Radeon RX Vega) Hardware - 40 shader clusters = 2560 shader units Chip - Slightly smaller than Polaris 10/20 (= appr. 200-200mm²) Release - End of Q2 2019 Navi 10 Segment - High-end (performance like GeForce RTX 2080)...

This doesn't line up with their slides, though they did mention "Nexgen Memory" with Navi in another -

Who knows when these are going to launch, though? Could be nearer the middle of the year rather than March as Jim proposes. But yes, that is a good point.

Top-tier Navi is meant to be Navi 20, coming either at the end of 2019 or (more likely, sadly, though who knows) 2020. Navi 10 would be around 1080/TI tier if true though, yes. Exciting stuff!

More Navi rumours, this time from AdoredTV. Jim talks a lot about Zen 2 first, but he has some fascinating figures about Navi graphics cards, with three cards rumoured to be announced at CES in January. Two Navi 12 cards, and one Navi 10 card, as follows -

Coreteks has a "source" that cites 96 CUs for Navi. 64 was the limit for GCN I believe, does anyone believe this? He also mentions a high end Navi which he calls Navi+ which his source says should be out by the end of next year. Hmm.

Sony and Microsoft can get whoever they want, just as you said Intel is not cheap, and neither is nVidia for that matter. For reasons of backwards compatibility which I'm sure is a big consideration, going with AMD makes more sense. Also they've had a strong working relationship with them for...

Sony and Microsoft don't really have a choice unless they want to go back to a seperate CPU and GPU setup again... and back with a company they've both had a falling out with. All these rumours about Navi being in PS5 and of course they're both well into the development of their next systems by...

Sorry, I meant to say Navi 20, not Vega 20. Ah, thank you.

Perhaps TSMC is not set up yet for full scale 7nm manufacturing?

Saw an interesting video about Navi, this guy expects a 35-45% improvement over Vega 64 and talks about possible improvements to the HBCC. He does unfortunately bring up the possibility of an MCM setup which I think everyone accepts as not happening with Navi, though he goes on to say he thinks...

In several presentation slides, AMD presented Navi as being before "Next Gen", so I'm guessing it's the final gasp of GCN before they bring out the successor, probably in 2020/21. As shown here -
