As we all know NAVI is the new family of Radeon GPUs. NAVI is based on 7nm RDNA architecture (Radeon DNA). NAVI will be PCIe Express 4.0 compatible, has a new compute design, new cache-hierarchy and will be reducing latency, lower power. 1.25x perf per clock improvement and 1.5x better power consumption.



During the keynote speech AMD announced the and named the 7nm NAVI based graphics cards the Radeon RX 5000 series products. A card based on NAVI was shown in a live demo and compared against a GeForce RTX 2070 in a direct comparison with the Radeon RX 5700. Strange Brigade. The FPS looked about the same but was mentioned to be roughly 10% faster.

AMD considers Navi as a completely new architecture. No longer GCN, but RDNA. RDNA uses completely redesigned Compute Units, which should significantly increase per-clock performance and efficiency. This includes a new cache structure. The changes are expected to boost Vega's performance by at least 25 percent per cycle ("IPC") and increase efficiency (wattage) by at least 50 percent.  


Raytracing was not mentioned in the presentation and the Navi cards do not seem to have any hardware support for it. According to AMD, the Navi architecture will serve as the foundation for video cards for gamers in the coming years. AMD has not yet published any specifications or prices for the cards in the RX 5000 series. The manufacturer will do this during the E3 game fair, via a live stream. AMD announces that NAVI will be launching in July. June 10th there will be a live stream with all details on products, specs and prices.

Navi will debut as Radeon RX 5000 series, with the Radeon RX 5700 series leading initially.
