AMD Likely To Announce Vega 20 with 32 GB HBM2 Radeon Instinct at Computex
From the looks of it, AMD will be announcing Vega 20 on Computex. Vega20 is a die shrink of the current model, and should be a 7nm part. It's mentioned that the new Radeon Instinct SKU (machine- deep-learning / enterprise GPU) would get a whopping 32 GB of HBM2 memory.
AMD itself has mentioned the existence of VEGA0 multiple ties away and earlier on mentioning that it would be launching in 218, according to their plans. According to a source of tweak town who spread this information, Vega 20 initially would just be a refresh of Vega 10 for the professional market. It is expected to get the same 64CUs as in Vega 10 and is fabbed at 7nm. Early this year it was already spotted in driver entries as well as a benchmark entry back in April, which also shows 32GB of graphics memory.
There's no word on anything for the consumer (gaming) side. For consumers, 7nm video cards base on Navi seem more viable. AMD has a press-conference this Wednesday.

AMD beat Intel onto 7nm??? (even though it's GPUs not CPUs). I'd love to see AMD competing better in the GPU market like they are now doing in CPU market.
Intel/Nvidia have treated us badly for too long!

Intel already selling 10 nm Cannonlakes.
And this is not a gaming GPU. There will be no mainstream GPU from AMD this year. Only budget RX600 series on "12 nm". "7 nm" Navi not earlier of April-May 2019.
And it seems likely Nvidia Turning was cancelled because of that. Likely no GTX 1170 and 1180 this year. "7 nm" Nvidia Ampere likely around March-May 2019 as well.

Great news! That means we only have to wait 365 days 'till we see something at decent/consumer prices.
