Sapphire Technology Product Manager Spills Some Beans on AMD NAVI

The actual page with information has been taken offline already but in an interview with a Sapphire Technology Product Manager at AMD 50 Gathering in China Product Manager Leo and Public Relations Director Jenny spilled some info.

The interview with Sapphire Technology Product Manager Leo and Public Relations Director Jenny at AMD 50 Gathering in Chengdu, China as spotted by Eric98k at Reddit. First off, there are no plans for Sapphire for a non-reference Radeon VII, which kinda makes sense so shortly before NAVI, neither was it expected.

However, confirmed to be released for NAVI is a water-cooled Poison Toxic. Toxic for Vega was canceled due to restricted margins. AMD seems to be tackling two price points for NAVI, one is priced at $499 and the other is $399, let's call them PRO and XT GPU versions for now.

The top model NAVI would be competing with and should be stronger than a GTX 2070. In the artciel, they deny the existence of a so-called “Big Navi” with 5120SP. Navi would be presented at Computex on May 27th, and the launch date is July 7th.

Take it all with a grain of salt and some disclaimers, please.

Guys i think it's $499 Singapur Dollar

(w/7% Tax)

Navi 10 XT = ~330 USD
Navi 10 ("Pro") = ~280 USD

IMhO Hi-End Navi starting price will be at ~299€ (As Polaris was, or maby lower? who knows)
Those are small chips, easy to manufacture with good Yield... So pricing at >400€ do not do any good to ATI/AMD.

The original article stated that the prices are in US dollars

it's better in every application i have and the games i play. i still use the 1080ti, but in my htpc (still have the waterblock) where it replaced a gtx 970.
i did a mild oc on the R7, nothing major. i'm an audiophile so i'm hypersensitive to noise, especially harmonics (i.e. fans and fan bearings) and induced hums (i.e. power supplies). i'm also a (not that great) home musician as i play the French horn and trumpet.
so i have many tributaries of nerd running into my river of geek.

Good for you! Guitar & trumpet here for many years...but that is a fading but very pleasant memory. Hard to figure these posts about the 1080--never had one and never missed it, either.
