AMD NAVI would see three video card models, $249 RX 3080 close to RTX 2070

Quite a bit of information leaked onto the web over the last day or so, whether or not that information is correct remains to be seen. However, more info surfaced and it entails the pending GPU launch from AMD, based on 7nm NAVI.

Youtuber AdoredTV once again spreads out quite a bit of information about the next generation Zen processors (Ryzen 3000 ZEN2) however at the end of the video the end of the video, the Youtuber spreads word about another leak regarding AMD's future GPUs, codenamed Navi.

If the information is correct this line-up will exist out of three graphics card series to replace the current Polaris generation mainly. The naming would be 'RX 3000 series', opposed to RX 600. We'll quickly take you through the three products.

The Radeon RX 3060 would be the entry-level card and would have 4 GB GDDR6. Here I have reason to doubt, GDDR6 is a new type of memory that is very fast and new always is expensive. it would make little sense to include it onto an entry-level product So that raises a red flag as far as I am concerned. The product would sit in the $130 range

The second product would be the Radeon RX 3070, which replaces the RX 570. It would operate at Vega 56 performance at merely a TDPof 120 watts. IT gets 8 GB GDDR6 and would costs at $200 at minimum.

The higher end card would be the RX 3080, and also has 8 GB of GDDR6. At 150 watts it would be about 15% faster than the Vega 64 which is RTX 2070 territory. This card is tagged at $ 250 (which seems too cheap to be true).

We cannot vouch for the info that is spread, and as mentioned I do see red flags here. So as to what extent and how valid this information is we cannot tell. So please read and absorb this with a super big disclaimer in mind, the info could be incorrect. Extreme caution is recommended.

It is likely we'll hear a bit more in January from the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, at CES.

When are these childish naming schemes going to stop? AMD should've named this the Rx 600 series but no they went with the 3000 series which means that Nvidia would most likelike change their naming scheme again for their next architecture realease. The same goes for the Z370, B350, B360, X370, X470 and B450 motherboard chipsets. Please stop this childishness and put some more effort and creative thinking into naming your products. Hopefully they change it back to the Rx600 series

I haven't been interested in AMD regarding GPU for years, i expected better from them after what they pull off on the CPU market.

<- Wait and see

i don't understand why people are complaining, a vega 64 + 15% ( 2070 level ) for half the price and dramaticaly reduced power consumption if true that would be the greatest news of 2019 that and a Ryzen 2 cpu at 5ghz with 16 cores at sub 500$ price tag

I think this entire article is fantasy. Not only is there no way a card performing as well as the rtx 2070 would be priced anywhere near $250, i'm also quite sure nVidia has the 3070, 3080 product names already legally theirs.
