AMD announces Radeon Pro V340 with two Vega-gpu's and 32GB HBM2
AMD announced a new graphics card in their business Radeon Pro V series. The Radeon Pro V340 has been fitted with two Vega-gpu's (14nm), supplemented with second-generation EEC HBM.
The AMD Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card is a dual-GPU solution based on the advanced AMD “Vega” architecture1, optimized to deliver extreme performance and high user density for virtualized environments. It is the first VDI hardware solution equipped with 32GB of ultra-fast, second-generation high-bandwidth memory, providing massive amounts of memory and bandwidth for today’s most complex design and media workloads.
The AMD Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card is enabled by AMD MxGPU Technology, the industry’s only hardware-based GPU virtualization solution, which is based on the industry-standard SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) technology. Combining software and hardware technologies that deliver virtualized graphics for the modern cloud, AMD MxGPU delivers fast, stable and predictable performance with the industry’s highest user density2, without requiring recurring end-user license fees.
“As the flagship of our new Radeon™ Pro V-series product line, the Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card employs advanced security features and helps to cost effectively deliver and accelerate modern visualization workloads from the datacenter,” said Ogi Brkic, general manager of Radeon Pro at AMD.
“The AMD Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card will enable our customers to securely leverage desktop and application virtualization for the most graphically demanding applications,” said Sheldon D’Paiva, director of Product Marketing at VMware. “With Radeon™ Pro for VMware, admins can easily set up a VDI environment, rapidly deploy virtual GPUs to existing virtual machines and enable hundreds of professionals with just a few mouse clicks.”
“With increased density, faster frame buffer and enhanced security, the AMD Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card delivers a powerful new choice for our customers to power their Citrix Workspace, even for the most demanding applications,” said Calvin Hsu, VP of Product Marketing at Citrix.
Purpose-built Technology
The AMD Radeon™ Pro V340 graphics card delivers advanced features and technologies geared towards enterprise, DaaS and cloud gaming solutions to accelerate visualization workloads, including:
- Superior User Density: Supports up to 32 1GB virtual machines, up to 33 percent more than the competitive solution.2
- Integrated Encode Engine: The ability to compress independent video streams in both H.264 and H.265 formats. Provides design and manufacturing users with the video quality they expect, while empowering IT managers to eliminate CPU bottlenecks.
- Ultra-Fast Frame Buffer: HBM2 memory with Error Correcting Code (ECC)3 and better power efficiency than competing solutions allow fast paging apps to run incredibly fast.
- Built-in Security Processor: Provides secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities.

Navi is a marketing name, nothing more. Just like Nvidia used "Volta" is the next big thing and it didn't even get to consumer graphics.
Navi was first seen as 2018 product:
Doesn't matter what it is - you're the one saying we won't be seeing consumer products any time soon, and yet Navi is supposed to be released in early to mid 2019. I understand that feels like a long way away, but it isn't that far.
Also, Volta was more than just a marketing name. The tensor cores were a pretty big deal.
AMD is now focusing on profiting markets which are datacenters/enterprise(EPYC 2, AMD PRO GPUs), AI compute, CPU market with ryzen as it proven itself and consoles. only after all these are done which should be late into 2019 we might see some consumer GPUs and even AMD says so with their roadmap.
we know 7nm Vega is for AI, so 7nm Navi? late 2019 my guess.
Yes, and if you haven't noticed, consumer-level hardware tends to just be cut-down versions of enterprise hardware, usually released within the same year. It wouldn't surprise me if Navi is derived from the changes made in Vega 20, rather than Vega 10 (which the current-gen hardware is based on).
Supposing late 2019 is the reality of Navi's release date, that's still not as far away as you're making it out to be.
The point is, there is new hardware around the corner. That doesn't mean we should be keeping our hopes up that it'll defeat the 2080Ti, but to act like there is nothing coming up soon just simply isn't true.

early 2019? where did you get that date from? first comes 7nm Vega jeez you can't even follow roadmaps....
AI compute is VERY different from graphics(though Nvidia is trying to make them one as they invest heavily in both)
if AMD is going for 7nm AI gpu it is gonna be very different from consumer grade card.

let me show you reality:
1. Vega failed, while Nvidia focused on maximizing GDDR tech, AMD went for HBM which turned out to be too expensive and too hard to mass-produce
2. Raja which basically was behind the whole graphics division(RTG) of AMD left, meaning AMD needs to re-establish its own graphics division
3. AMD stated they are focusing AI tech FIRST.
4. AMD has its hands full with Ryzen, we also know new consoles are coming soon, its not a massive company like Intel that can do multiple big projects at the same time.
We are going something maybe in late 2019 not before. a long time from now.

As you yourself have pointed JUST out, roadmaps aren't strictly followed (and when it comes to AMD's GPU division, they sure as hell don't follow them). Anyway rather than question me, do the research yourself:
https://www.google.com/search?q=navi+release+date&safe=off&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:m&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5lIK19I-dAhUyc98KHfDcB98QpwUIHw&biw=1567&bih=807
Many articles within the past month are saying somewhere between Q1 2019 to mid 2019. It's very possible it'll get delayed to late 2019 (I wouldn't be surprised) but that still makes your point moot.
As for AI, I'm well aware it's different. But unlike Nvidia, AMD tends to make their cores general-purpose. This is why Vega 10 wasn't so impressive - it performed great in compute tasks but not so great in gaming. Unless Navi ends up being more similar to the PS5 GPU rather than Vega 20, I wouldn't be surprised if it too will have better compute performance than gaming performance.

I don't question any of that, but how does any of that have anything to do with what we're talking about here?

In your opinion.

That seems a bit naive... besides, are you not aware of Navi? Before you say "it probably won't compete with the 2080", I understand people here are enthusiasts and expect the best, but the general mentality around here seems to be "if an architecture doesn't offer #080Ti performance, it isn't worth anyone's interest" which is ridiculous. Not everybody needs or cares about something that high-end, especially considering price point. I still have a R9 290 and so far it handles just about everything I throw at it at 1080p (granted, I might need to turn off AA). Most people aren't gaming at 2K+, so even if Navi isn't competitive with the 2080, it would be stupid of them to not release anything at all.
EDIT:
As long as the performance-per-
