AMD Navi release date, specs, rumours, and performance

The upcoming AMD Navi graphics cards will offer us our first taste of a new Radeon GPU design since Vega. The next-gen 7nm Radeon GPUs are most likely specced to dominate the mid-range market rather than try and go toe-to-toe with Nvidia's Turing GPUs at the high end. Whatever the specs, we do at least know that they're going to be hitting the shelves sometime in 2019.

Our sources in the industry have suggested it’s not too far-fetched to think that the red team will manage to get its long-awaited graphics architecture onto the shelves in time for a 2019 launch in the first half of the year.

Why should you wait for the next Radeon GPU? The new AMD Navi GPU architecture will most likely be the direct successor to the current mid-range Polaris 500-series graphics cards, and not the more recent, more high-end RX Vega architecture. That seems to have become even more likely with Nvidia releasing its top-spec RTX 2080 Ti cards this year without waiting to see what AMD can do in response to the brand new Nvidia Turing cards.
