Interesting read fromWCCFTECH: (<- link to full atricle)
Bad news for PC gamers though:
Navi 10 (mainstream) is expected to hit 2H of 2019 or early 2020. The story seems plausible to me, but it is WCCFTECH, so take it with a hugh grain of salt. Nonetheless, if it's true, NVIDIA will have virtually no competition for an even longer time.
Postpone me to 2021 if old.
Lisa packaged the graphics department neatly into Radeon Technologies Group and gave control of that to Raja Koduri, but at the same time devoted 2/3rds of the talent on-hand for RTG to develop the next semi-custom solution – which was Navi for Sony. The P&L of RTG was also not handed over to the group head and that meant they were effectively left with 1/3rd of the engineering talent devoted to making a graphics card for gamers and almost no control over their own finances.
Bad news for PC gamers though:
Navi 20 is the GPU that you are waiting for and will be a true high-end gaming GPU manufactured on the 7nm process by AMD. The downside? it won't be coming anytime soon. In fact, our source stated it could take as long as 2021 before it sees the light of day.
