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.

rtx 2070 should be 499 as well, but is always sold higher. Amd cards generally drop in price after a bit.
Who bought a 1080ti at launch price definitely bought the most longeve card i heard of.
There have been 2070's selling for 469-479 since they launched.

"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." I have no idea where this info comes from? Doesn't seem its from the 2 people.
This is what we know from rumours.

It also applies to the GTX 1080 owners...maybe better...the ti version did launch three months later.
