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.

So they're comparing a 500 dollar video card to the 2070. That's not a good sign.

Considering that my oc gtx 1080 is on par with the rtx 2070 I am wondering which the sense should be by releasing something that will be on par with a 5 years old technology...wait...maybe I got the point...cash.

Gpu's have really gotten stale the last few generations from both camps and AMD not competing at the top isnt helping. AMD on 7nm still wont be beating nvidia on 14nm which is bad.
