The AMD RX 500X series graphics cards released recently did not jump out of the roadmap. They only targeted 'vest' products, leaving fans with some regrets.
In other words, if you want to wait for a more powerful game card, you have to rely on the Navi (Cassiopeia) framework.
However, Fudzilla's report has even wiped out this hope.
To make a long story short, In AMD's plan, the flagship graphics card with better performance than the Vega 64/GTX 1080 will not be seen in 2018, nor will it be in 2019, and it may not appear until 2020.
This does not mean that Navi itself has any problems. Navi will still be the main force in 2019, but its corresponding product category for 7nm is only up to RX 580/480 improvements (for GTX 1070?).
Therefore, Navi copied Polaris (Polaris), and the new architecture after Vega should be 7nm+ in 2020.
According to Fudzilla, the 7nm Navi graphics card will be available after NVIDIA's new GeForce (Turing Architecture), but it will take until the end of the year. The GTX 11 is said to be June-August.
According to previous information, Navi was one of the former heads of RTG, but he had already switched to Intel. AMD then introduced David Wang/Mike Rayfield to the development of the GPU. The new product rhythm and thinking may be that they Readjusted.
On the positive side, 7nm+ is definitely GF based on EUV technology (EUV lithography) , It is better than the first 7nm DUV, so this high-end product of the new architecture has plenty of time to polish.
In addition, the negative ones are not absent. Not to mention that AMD's flagship card needs to wait two years. Fudzilla is also very worried that NVIDIA's Huang Renxuan took the opportunity to continue to raise the price of high-end graphics cards so as to make them profitable. , I believe this is not what most PC users want to see.
