AMD RDNA2 Graphics cards set for release in September 2020
It kind of is expected as well, after the summer everybody is going to release everything. however in regards to Big NAVI aka AMD RDNA2 Based Radeon RX Graphics Cards, the newly set launch would be September. And likely with NVIDIA in that same timeframe.
it is Taiwanese media outlet DigiTimes that mentions that AMD and NVIDIA both are expected to launch their next-gen GPUs and thus graphics cards fro consumers in September.
– DigiTimes -
first half of a year has been usually the slow season for graphics cards, but this year the coronavirus pandemic-triggeed stay-at-home needs has shored up demand. With AMD and Nvidia set to launch their next-generation GPUs in September, graphics cards vendors are expected to cut prices for older-generation products, stimulating demand further in third-quarter 2020. The pandemic-fueled demand for notebooks is also expected keep NAND flash memory prices stable in the third quarter. And the fresh US trade sanctions on Huawei is not deterring the Chinese tech giant from making building 5G networks around China. For semiconductor, Digitimes has an exclusive interview with TSMC's R&D senior VP Cliff Hou, who reveals the principles and issues concerning the foundry's recruitement and R&D.
Graphics card makers see shipments boom: Graphics card manufacturers including Asustek Computer, Micro-Star International (MSI) and Gigabyte Technology are expected to see their shipments continue ramping up and grow through the fourth quarter of 2020, according to industry sources.
Well, if Digitimes says it, who are we to argue. Well, bring it on we'd say!

Of course they will have a new chipset. I assume things like USB4, thunderbolt 3, fanless chipset cooling. It's true we don't know but its almost a given with a new generation of CPUs AMD will have a new generation of MB's.

Navi was a big disappointment for me, specially RX5500 and RX5600 that were supposed to replace Polaris but came more expensive for the same performance (RX5500).
So I got myself an old trusty RX580 and I'm happy playing my games waiting for something worth upgrading in early 2022.

Every GPU since the days of the Radeon HD 5870 has been underwhelming from AMD(I did own a 5870 ran hot but was fast). Finally they split the GPU lines into gaming and compute which has been killer trying to have a generic GCN based solution. I have high hopes for RDNA2 and this is coming from someone who thought Vega was not going to be good and Navi was just a iteration of that.
