This is a shaky cam video recording of the Battlefied 3 Back to Karkand Expansion. Quality is horrible, but I don't think this trailer has been shown already. The recording was taken during an AMD pre...

Early 2016 Polaris Design has been completed. At that time GPU team has been split and part worked on Vega. Other part started on Navi.
Moment Vega design was in stone (1H2017), all of them went to work towards Navi. They have approximately additional 9 months to finalize everything for 1st Navi if 2019 release of Low-End Navi is to happen. Otherwise 12~14 months for Playstation 2020 release.
Bear in mind:
- DX12 specification which is added to game for purpose of effects seen did not come from blue. It has been worked out with industry. Therefore both AMD and nVidia were aware for quite longer than we did. That's how nVidia could have made decisson to include those special blocks into gaming GPU.
- that nVidia kind of reused HW blocks which they used for other applications. AMD is likely making blocks specifically for DX12 specification with future outlook in mind.
There is no reason to be worried for few reasons. AMD has contract and enough of time. Consoles will not sell if they cost $1000+. Because nVidia asks a lot for GPU required to do that new stuff and then you need CPU, RAM, ... Console price made by intel+nVidia would be like $1200~1400+.
It could be nVidia GPU+AMD's CPU, but even then console will not have shared memory between CPU and GPU which saves cost, so still high price tag.
HILBERT - Probably stupid question, but will this hurt AMD with game consoles for next generation? Also will the console makers switch to Nvidia for hardware?

Sir,
when the review will start, so eager?
How about being a little more patient, wait for the final game to be released as well as the reviews?

Honestly I think these tech presentations often do more harm than good because the people who watch them don't actually understand what they are seeing. Probably better to just show shiny stuff and say "look! its shinier now! buy our new hardware!"

I hope they do not get carried away using it and make too many shiny surfaces so that better reflections could be seen. We had this issue with environmental bump mapping when that first could be done. You could tell it was just in the scene because they wanted to do it,
