AMD Radeon RX 5700 (NAVI) AIB customized cards available in August
There is some chatter on the web whether or not AIB product will be available for the pending AMD NAVI series aka Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT. During the AMD tech days, we asked this question and got answers for you on it.
So yes, there will be AIB (custom) cards for the new Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, however, these will not be available during launch in a few weeks, but roughly one month later. The thing is that AMD does mind AIB product to be available in early July, it merely is a matter of logistics. The information and GPUs went out to the AIB partners, but simply takes them a little more time to finish up their designs. The board partners will release the reference products on that date. Of course, you might see an off review before actual AIB availability but the general consensus will be as described below.
So AIB Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT cards is a definite yes, and they will become available roughly one month after the reference launch on the 7th.

Releasing a card that isn't any faster than their previous is kind of bonkers especially when you look at the power consumption.
This silicon should of had more and be competing with the 2080 not the 2070,
There is no good reason to purchase one of these it wont change your gaming experience.
Disappointing for the consumer but interesting to the tech.

What won't change your gaming experience? Of course a Vega 56/64/Radeon VII owner is not neccessarily changing GPU, but most gamers have much cheaper cards than those. RTX 2060 is some % faster than the Vega 56. The RX5700 will be about 10% faster than the RTX 2060, meaning you will have a Vega 64 performance for $380 (30-80$ less than a Vega64) with 115W less TDP. And there will be an RTX 2070 + ~10% performance with 225W TDP, meaning it will be around the Radeon VII (or a bit faster than that) for $250, 75W (and 8GB VRAM) less.

You would be right to complain if we were talking 5900. But since this is two performance tiers down from AMD's usual flagship range, your complaint is somewhat moot. I say "somewhat" because the estimated power consumption is disappointing.

We will have a great product line, but as some have said here at Guru3D, AMD often doesn't handle the launch very well. Navi will get more interesting as more time goes by and I expect a significant price drop only after one month from release. It seems they want to try the Nvidia way to sell the default model at a higher price for early adopters, so the upcoming custom cards are cheaper, the real deal. What a stupid move if this happens, but I guess the launch price is set in stone now, so it will. Wait till August and you will have a great deal and if you wish to wait till Black Friday you will get an awesome deal! Navi is a small chip and it can price out Nvidia any day, until they refresh Turing with 7 nm, then Radeon is screwed once again, which is sad for Navi 20, most likely making it a rather unpopular product. If I were AMD, I would sell Navi for this short period of time with a lower profit margin just to gain marketshare as much as possible to avoid consumers upgrading to 7 nm Turing instead of Navi. If one has bought a new GPU in autumn, he will most likely not buy a new one in a long time after that, no matter what comes up.

I wonder how much of an improvement the AIB cards will be, since the Navi cards have power limit restrictions.
My plan is to add a Navi card to my custom loop, mainly for silence. But I would try some overclocking if it doesn't produce too much heat for the loop to stay silent.
I'm sure we'll see a reference vs AIB design comparison on air, but I'd really appreciate it if someone included a water cooling performance comparison, too. Very hard to get one, I know.
