AMD: 7nm Epyc 2 and Navi launch in third quarter - NAVI will be cheaper than Radeon VII
AMD announced it will be unleashing its 7nm Navi GPUs and Rome Epyc server processors in the third quarter of this year. Q3 starts in July and ends September, so that is roughly and at least two months away.
That leaves announcements to be made at Computex for NAVI, but not a release that is very closeby. AMD was not precise about a set date for NAVI, just Q3. NAVI is the new mainstream GPU architecture based on a 7nm fabrication node with GDDR6 graphics memory that is set to replace Polaris. On the EPIC server processor front, Rome is pushed to Q3, with their up-to a staggering 64 cores. The news was shared during a post-earnings conference call.
Also mentioned was that the first 7nm Navi-gpu to be released will cost less than the Radeon VII video card that the company released early this year.

Kaarme, indeed. As long as it's a significant jump over my 580 and the noise and temp is kept under control, I can see this being my next card.

Navi is GCN's last gasp.
Its not a massive change from Vega, just more efficient, and maybe setting things up for the real next gen, new architecture that comes after (Chiplets, yay).
and I predict they will still clock the balls out of it, thats why it may still consume up to 200+watts, even though its like upper mid-range.

AMD's GPU architect has spoken.

I hope it have 2560Sps for XX80. It could replace my 580.
Im glad i didnt bought any of those crappy gtx turing cards instead.

I'm looking forward to the Guru3D reviews. It'll be nice to see a really new AMD GPU reviewed after a long while. I didn't really consider Vega VII to be so interesting from a personal point of view as it was obviously not within my price range, nor was it really anything new, per se. Navi, of course, is a different thing. Nvidia RTX also turned out to be a disappointment as far as prices go (and the practicality of RT), which made their introduction fall flat from my pov.
