AMD might launch its NAVI 10 next-gen GPU by June
The year 2019 will be hugely important for AMD with ZEN2 and NAVI. A new rumor on the web indicates that AMD will launch its Navi 10 next-gen GPU in the Summer during E3. All eyes are on AMD, to take on NVIDIA in the graphics card segment, which according to the rumors performance better than expected.
Relying on exclusive insider sources, a report states that the Navi 10 next-gen GPUs will be introduced at E3 2019, ie between June 12 and 15, and will be released on July 7th. A launch date on 7.7. does not seem too far-fetched since AMD likes to refer to its own 7-nm GPUs, then again it would be easy to speculate on that date.
Navi 10 is supposed to be a mainstream graphics card like what Polaris is offering with a bit of an increase in speed, it is however claimed that the performance might be higher than expected and can potentially exceed that of the Radeon RX Vega 64, sitting just behind the GeForce RTX 2080, if you choose to believe Tweak Town report. It will be interesting to see if AMD will succeed in combining performance with normal power consumption at an attractive price. Navi will have an updated GCN architecture and is to be released at 7nm fabrication nodes. The latest chatter indicates an announcement during Computex and an E3 release.

I believe AMD previously said in an interview they are targeting mainstream now, not high end halo products anymore. Makes sense with all their semi-custom contacts. So Navi needs to hit that near perfect price/performance ratio, which ...it seems well positioned for.

He didn't miss that. He says explicitly that he thinks it may negatively impact some reviews. You disagree.
No we're not missing your horrific opinions of all things Nvidia
But, they are not to blame for Nvidia essentially having two product stacks superior to AMD, in both performance and efficiency in the metric that matter to most gamers: FPS, and that ain't Feels Per Second. It's unfortunate AMD is currently this far behind in the enthusiast space and I do not see that changing for the next year. You can get mad at Nvidia, but... I am just the messenger.
FPS is not metric that matters. FPS per $ is and there we can't say that either side wins. Power efficiency does not matter. Additional electricity cost from gaming spent with Vega 7 over RTX 2080 is small enough in life cycle to match upfront extra price tag difference on RTX 2080. (Here, price difference vs. electricity cost equals around 1200 hours of gaming. And that's with lower cost 2080.)
=> Not that I would advise anyone to get either of them unless there was no other way.
And funny thing is that RTX 2080 is actually equal to Vega 7 in terms of performance per transistor per clock. It is actually sad. Me, seeing Vega as kind of failure speaks miles about "greatness" of Turing.

Well, I pledged not to jump back in this, yet, here I am. Shame on me.
In no particular order:
Wouldn't have imagined that my failure to mention Nvidia within any of my posts would be taken as granting them a pass on any of their previous product launches. And, I do not do so. The focus of this thread, I thought, was the upcoming launch of Navi.
I do not, have not, and, hopefully, will not, live under any rock or rocks.
I am female, not male. At least, I hope so. I'd hate to think I've been cross-dressing all these years...
I framed my previous comments referencing my concern about a potential July 7th embargo-lift as affecting only U.S.-based reviewers, and possibly, U.S.-based customers. The fact that July 4th isn't significant elsewhere on Earth was never lost on me.
I feel as though only two of the individuals who referenced my posts within this thread, actually read, and more importantly, understood, what it was I was trying to convey. (Thank you.)
I'll take that as a failure on my part to make my point as clearly as I should have. I tend to ramble, or, so I've been told. Probably a girl-thing. In any case, I am neither vexed, nor offended. I'll keep the names of those two individuals to myself, so as to keep peace within this family. (No lists are being contemplated.)

The course of this thread seems illustrative as to just how high the passion, or, even tension, regarding this particular product has grown. Please; a deep breath, everyone.

You're fine @Celcius I got your point & @HeavyHemi worded perfectly'
Back at @Celcius - It'd be unfortunate of a reviewer to allow something in their personal life, be it a launch day etc to affect their work. Granted a death in the family etc... there are things that are random/unavoidable and would affect most people. I think letting the day you normally have off or could have off affect work could be seen as unprofessional ... attempt the work, plan it out - "it is what it is" as they say. I still get your point and do agree it isn't the best idea far as industry relations (or whatever the term is) albeit good marketing...

You missed something here, it makes a huge deal for marketing. It makes the products easier to sell, sure its a gimmick and means nothing in terms of the product. But for creating a buzz for it, it makes perfect sense to release it on this day. AMD need all the publicity they can get after the long 10 year span that Intel has slapped them into the ground.
If any reviewer knocks it because it stopped them from going to the beach on the holiday is not worth listening to.
As long as AMD get the chips into reviewers hands before hand I see no issue with the release date rumoured.

Wow...I guess you missed the horrifically marred launch of nVidia's RTX products to date....
