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.

As a happy RTX 2080 owner, I hope NAVI is good! I hope AMD can at least give Nvidia some proper competition as it is just good for us the consumer...As good as Nvidia is at the moment, they control the pricing purely because AMD are just are not competitive and this certainly is not Nvidia's fault, any good business would do the same but what AMD's lack of competitive GPU's has done is allow Nvidia to take risks with Ray Tracing without too much to lose and thus put Nvidia in the driving seat for the upcoming Ray tracing war...

Navi will finally match GTX 1080 Ti with the top model, power consumption being the same. Although Nvidia already has surpassed GTX 1080 Ti power consumption wise by RTX 2080, RTX-cards are hard to sell cheap due to big chips. Like Polaris, Navi is going to be a small chip that can answer to pretty much any price interference, but power consumption will be slightly worse than on competing GeForce cards like GTX 1660 & GTX 1660 Ti. 1600-series was released to have products with smaller dies, since when RTX-implementation is done correctly, not much if any performance penalty should apply when utilizing RT-cores for their purpose. The problem is RTX-cards are less profitable and so far no game seems to properly utilize RTX-features, so performance tanks.
Nvidia will already this year update their line-up into 7 nm, which means most likely updated top models far away from AMD's reach, making it tempting to pay for a major performance uplift rather than for a lesser uplift in Navi's case. For people who already own GTX 1080 or better, Navi is a rather pointless release. Nvidia though will offer even further performance, better than RTX 2080 Ti by 7 nm, which leaves the question if 7 nm will be used to produce mainstream products? It is hard to imagine why not, but in that case 1600-series would be very quickly obsolete. Maybe they have produced 1600-series quite limitedly? The 12 nm 1600-series perform better in modern and upcoming games though due to Turing architecture, when compared to Pascal, so it's existence is rather beneficial and justified even if 7 nm refresh is imminent.
Anyway, for those who don't require the lowest possible power consumption, Navi will offer affordable alternative to RTX 2080 for anyone who upgrades from GTX 1070 Ti or lesser. The price is yet a mystery, but I will guess something like 500 € for the top card, 400 € for RTX 2070 alternative and 300 € for RTX 2060 alternative. We will surely see a significant performance bump at every price point, which means we finally get a true step forward in desktop GPU performance. Polaris has still room to exist at the very lower end, but Vega will vanish. Vega owners don't need to worry though - FineWine applies to every GCN-card.

i do not get the 4th of July argument ... the lunch is on 7th ....so ... 1st 2nd 3rd , 5th and 6th of july are all days that the 4th is celebrated ? if the 7/7 release date is truth is not unreasonable reviewers to get a review model after mid june no ?
Now Navi ... if it comes out gives +-5% 2070 perfomance for about 250 euros will be a killer deal mind you the cheaper 2070 here (Greece) is 485 euros .
@Celcius you are from the states you use nickname Celcius ? Am i the only one that finds that strange ?
(( not in a bad way by the way ))

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...
Great many years ago when I started to use Lotus Notes we had funny workshop. There guy introduced ability to add holidays into ones calendar.
You can guess that 1/2 of class added quite a few countries. I can ensure everyone that if there were no product launches around holidays across the world, we would be left with few dates. And in that situations thousands of products would not get even 1/100th of attention they are getting now.

Feel free to scroll down to actual calendar.
