We already know that AMD's Radeon Navi series of 7nm graphics cards will launch in 2019, but at the time of writing AMD has remained tight-lipped about their next-generation graphics architecture, so much so that we don't know what to expect from the series in terms of both features and performance.
Now, AMD's Radeon Navi series of graphics cards are rumoured to release around a month after the company's Ryzen 3rd Generation processors, which are expected to launch in mid-2019. This leads us to believe that Navi will release around August, potentially around Siggraph and Gamescom 2019.
As a gaming-focused product, a Navi launch at GamesCom makes a lot of sense, though it is possible that AMD will have short tech demos for Navi before this time, perhaps giving us an early showing of the architecture at Computex or E3.
This report comes from Wccftech, who had accurately reported on Mike Rayfield's departure from AMD before its official announcement and accurately reported on the Radeon VII before the product's reveal.
Navi is expected to be a major departure from AMD's older GCN-based graphics products, though at this time it is unknown exactly what the architecture will feature.
Early roadmaps for Navi reference both "scalability" and "next-gen memory". This likely references how AMD plans to scale into the high-end of the graphics market with the architecture and plan to use modern GDDR6 memory.
Some rumors previously had suggested an October launch, but as of now, AMD is telling its partners to expect the launch exactly a month after the Ryzen 7nm launch.
Those who read my original exclusive will remember that I talked about how Navi is going to be the first non-GCN GPU and the first card to break free of the 4096 SP limit imposed by the GCN macro-architecture.
