The new Ryzen chips for sure and maybe news on some Vega mobile parts and APU's.

True they might even show the new Intel chips with VEGA Gpu Inside

Dont suppose we're likely to see Polaris replacement here either.

Nah, probably another year for that.

Ryzen refresh this quarter. But that's all it is, a refresh.

jigger · 4 Jan 2018 at 10:54

Ryzen+ and the X400 motherboards. Desktop APU's and maybe the 12nm cards.

Navi releasing in March

Supposed to include higher clock speeds and fixed memory issues no?

That's better than nothing, Because I bought into Ryzen quite late I went with a Ryzen 5 chip to save a few quid while I wait for chips offering better game performance.

I am getting some beers next week with some of the AMD top dogs, I will see what there is and see what I am allowed to divulge on anything if there is anything coming.

Get one of them a bit tipsy and find out if Raja walked or was pushed.

They sprung Threadripper from almost nowhere, so hopefully they spring some other tech to surprise us. We can but hope/dream

I found Polaris to be actually good, why they didn't fine tune it more and produce a bigger chip for desktop I have no idea because the biggest Polaris chip is inside the Xbox1X, it actually has more CU then the RX 480/580 so it can be made.

Not heard a lot, but there will be a lot of that for sure. Better memory support is a given

Yeah that is odd. I'd be a bit gutted if they announced a polaris successor next week tbh because I've just bought an RX580 yesterday.

I hope something is, Ryzen wise.

Leave the poor man alone, that's so last year,

Psss, Over here,

I bet it was a bit of both.

Since when is anybody ever allowed to say anything, you're all tied up tighter than a nun's chuff when it comes to details of up and coming gear, you're all NDA'd up to the balls!
