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 hope AMD pulls out something but I doubt they will catch up since Nvidia will also roll out 7nm parts soon.
They surprised me with Ryzen I would like to see that in the GPU front now.

Blah blah blah this is what they get paid to do.

If the rumours are true, this Navi release won't compete with the 2080 Ti, or 2080. More like 2070. From what I've heard its theoretical peak would approach 2080 Ti territory but it can never achieve that by the time the bugs are ironed out and the final taping version is ready, so waaaay down in 2070 territory would be more realistic.
But like I said, that's all rumours, except the theoretical peak part (which can't be achieved), AMD have been pretty tight lipped. Even if it only matches the 2070, at the right price that would still be fantastic.

I get the 7.7 significance, but July 7th should be a part of a nice, four-day holiday here in the U.S. because of the national 4th-of-July celebration. If AMD causes U.S. reviewers to spend any portion of that time foolin' with a graphics card review, instead of something more relaxing, Navi had better be the absolutely greatest graphics card in the history of personal computing. This is a potential "unforced error" on AMD's part.
It is choice of reviewer based on his/hers free will. What you described looks like some heavy entitlement. Large portion of people in IT work on any and all national holidays. (That includes Christmas... and we are not only ones who keep engine of the world spinning...)
I hope for AMDs GPU division that Navi won't fail.
Sadly for AMD, Nvidia 7nm chips are lurking in the shadows and this release will bump up performance alot - After all Turing was not meant for 12nm and scaled back
Do you have at least approximation for date of that nV 7nm shrink based on some source? If not it is like saying: "Sadly, there is 5nm VIA luring in the shadows..." (completely irrelevant statement)
Only thing you wrote is that nVidia will have something "new" some day in future.

When we see what Navi actually is and what will come after it, we can start talking about: "Sadly for ..."
