Exclusive: The AMD Inside Story, Navi GPU Roadmap And The Cost Of Zen To Gamers

Navi is scheduled now for Q4 2018.
Super cool, can't wait to get it.

AMD's next major milestone is the introduction of our upcoming 7nm product portfolio, including the initial products with our second generation "Zen 2" CPU core and our new "Navi" GPU architecture.

No it's not. Suggest you read the article properly this time. The First 7nm GPU they are talking about is a professional card, the Vega 20. AMD already said this earlier in the year.

The headline states "AMD Fast-tracks 7nm "Navi" GPU to Late-2018". I don't know if there is any truth to it but you can't pull him up for not reading as that's what it says. It does say they have already taped out there first 7nm gpu which we assume is the Vega instinct gpu but the headline is confusing in what it states.
 
One more time, read the article. It mentions nothing about Navi coming at the of the year, it's saying it will launch the first 7nm GPU by the end of the year and We already know what that one is, the 7nm Radeon Instinct for Server use.

Except when or if the title of the TPU article is the source itself :D

Yes, actually I can, because I told him to read the article properly and nowhere in the article does it say that Navi is coming this year.

Apart from the big writing at the top that says Navi fastracked to 2018 :D:D:D:D:D.

I don't know why you have such a problem with this. The title isn't the article which is why I told him to read the article properly. Understand now?

Title = clickbait. Article = info from AMD saying nothing about Navi coming in 2018.

I don't have a problem with it at all. No where in the article does it say Navi won't be 2019 either. I fully expect it to be 2019 myself but when you lead with that headline and with AMD making a big push on 7nm for both gpu and cpu surely you can see why he thinks Navi may well be at the end of the year. It's bad journalism to have that as a headline if there is no truth to it. Sure it's for clicks but surely there was a better headline to be had with more truth to it.

Maybe they are confused themselves and they believe Navi is out later this year.

"We have already taped out multiple 7nm products at TSMC, including our first 7nm GPU planned to launch later this year". Possibly they think this is Navi.

So Vega 20 and some yet unknown Navi chip for 2018.

I will put money on the article that they don't lie.

No just Vega 20 in it's Instinct form. If that comes to GPU market we do not know. AMD keeps it's hand pretty well close.

What we do know for certain is that Vega 20 and Vega 12 have shown in the Linux drivers since July. Yet nobody has a clue what the latter is, or if we going to see V20 in mainstream.

Though if someone watches the AdoredTv video (3rd from last) where he speaks about the RTX cards, he reasons that the NV will push fast the full lineup, hinting that Vega 20 might come to the market late in the year.

But even myself doubts that this is true. AMD putting on the market a 27Tflop chip going to be exuberant and showing hubris towards the competition :P
And I wrote 27Tflop because the Instinct/Fire Pro cards are always at around 4/5 the clock/performance of the gaming cards, because they maintain low clocks for low power consumption.

I can imagine the behemoth overclocked hitting 30Tflop but thats twice as much as the RTX2080Ti :eek:
So it ain't going to happen.......:cool: ever..... :rolleyes:
