According to reports, as the world's first 7nm architecture GPU, Navi is still under the leadership of the former Radeon technology leader Raja Koduri, but the price comes at the expense of the Vega architecture, because Raja has to be three-thirds The R&D team of the second invested in the development of Navi, which caused Vega to perform poorly in the confrontation with the N-card camp in the same period.
AMD made this decision is also due to CEO Su Zifeng favor semi-custom business rather than the desktop graphics sector, AMD and Apple, Microsoft and Sony have a very close cooperative relationship.

The flagship product performance comparison Vega will not be much improved, and the 7nm architecture will bring more significant improvements in power consumption and heat generation. This upgrade seems to be more in line with the needs of the host product.
If all the previous news is true, it means that AMD chose to work alone with Sony and would not hesitate to develop Navi at the expense of Vega. Perhaps Microsoft may also choose Nvidia and consider this time point in 2020. It is also fully capable of providing products that meet the needs of next-generation mainframes.
