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.

2080 which you can buy at about 10% higher price than Vega 7 has ~3% more transistors and ~3% higher clock.
Radeon 7*
Vega 20*
Same price*
Lets not go around confusing names by calling them what they aren't and claiming different prices.
Radeon VII MSRP is $699
RTX 2080 MSRP is $699
Both can be found at these MSRP prices

If you can find one of these cards for 10% cheaper, thats great, but that doesnt change that they are the same price, it simply means you should take advantage of the sale at the time
Lastly if there WAS a product named vega 7, it'd be inbetween the performance of a Vega 6 APU and Vega 8 APU.

It's not about how cheap version of 2080 you can have. It is about fact that there is just one variant of Vega 7nm in consumer market, therefore there is no reason to get let's say $50 more expensive version from Asus than cheaper one from Sapphire. On other hand, 2080 has wide range of variants and price tags for better PCB design, cooling, higher clock out of the box.

This sounds rather underwhelming, though expected.. if the new gpu’s can’t even compete with the now old 2080ti, then it hardly interest me. I hope AMD will be able to up the game and at least match what nvidia were able to do months ahead of them. Now we look at AMD matching what Nvidia two years ago? (1080ti’ish?) might do better than that though, but sounds like not by much..

I think they have always stated that the first wave of NAVI would be mainstream GPUs.

Yeah
AMD never jumps ahead of N Greedia every so many generations, like the 3870X2. Ah History is good to learn....................
