AMD to Simultaneously Launch 3rd Gen Ryzen and Unveil Radeon "Navi" This June
TAITRA, the governing body behind the annual Computex trade-show held in Taipei each June, announced that AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su will host a keynote address which promises to be as exciting as her CES keynote. It is revealed that Dr. Su will simultaneously launch or unveil at least four product lines. High up the agenda is AMD's highly anticipated 3rd generation Ryzen desktop processors in the socket AM4 package, based on "Zen 2" microarchitecture, and a multi-chip module (MCM) codenamed "Matisse." This launch could be followed up by a major announcement related to the company's 2nd generation EPYC enterprise processors based on the "Rome" MCM.
PC enthusiasts are in for a second major announcement, this time from RTG, with a technical reveal or unveiling of Radeon "Navi," the company's first GPU designed from the ground up for the 7 nm silicon fabrication process. It remains to be seen which market-segment AMD targets with the first "Navi" products, and the question on everyone's minds, whether AMD added DXR acceleration, could be answered. Lastly, the company could announce more variants of its Radeon Instinct DNN accelerators.

Thank god AMD don't do the "Oh some pin definitions have been changed so old MBs don't work" bull crap.
I had a X370 MB, update the BIOS then change the CPU is just a 5 MINUTES process.
The Fury series were going to be the Titan killer and the "overclockers dream", the Vega were going to be the "poor Volta", now it's Navi, which is going to be the most fantastic thing ever!
And most of the time it's not AMD's fault, but rather the unrealistic expectations that AMD fans are spreading through the forums.
But, they might surprise us this time, who knows... when they hit the shore, we'll see ...
Also, really looking forward to see new APU's.
Dr Lisa literally said: "As the first CEO keynote speaker at the COMPUTEX Press Conference, Dr. Lisa Su said, "As one of the most important global events for our industry, I look forward to COMPUTEX each year. I am honored to deliver the opening keynote this year and provide new details about the next generation of high-performance AMD platforms and products. With our partners, we will tell the story of how leading-edge technologies and an open ecosystem are driving an inflection point in computing and industry innovation and positively impacting several important markets."
Let me know if you find words "Ryzen" or "3rd gen" or "Navi" in it.It is time for that "buh CGN" idiocity to die already.A statement never made by any AMD employee. Don't read wccf too often, or put too much faiths into random reddit posts.
But, funny you only pick that, the rest of the line you disregard to fit your argument and put me as the bad guy and AMD the good and poor guy, who never spread unrealistic hype!
Nice work!

On the CPU front, AMD has more cores, but Intel has faster cores. They still a value proposition, despite Ice Lake's woes.
On the GPU, AMD has no value proposition. Nvidia has them beat across the board: performance, power draw, features and more recently price. From that point of view Navi will be late if it will be released yesterday.
I guess they made good use of the Ryzen money.
What I find surprising is that NVIDIA is not doing that good and knowing that they were never ahead as much as they are today.
Price, performance, features(RTRT) and power consumption. Everything is on their side.
I hate for any company pooling too much ahead I want them all competing.
In e perfect world NVIDIA is making CPUs too and Intel making discrete GPUs.
And Play Station and Xbox use different CPU/GPUs.
With each Ryzen Generation- AMD Doubled the existing performance/Core count, Quad Core Desktops became Octa-core, and soons 16Core, same on HEDT from 8C ~16C~32C~and soon 64C.
This kind of performance uplift is not normal and usual - and all of this in just ~2 Years!
This is why Dr. Lisa Su keeps saying " inflection point ".
I see people repeating all the time, but really haven't seen any argument why.Nvidia is making CPUs - just not x86.
Says the guy who didn't read any of the official statement(s) :rolleyes:www.computextaipei.com.tw/en_US/news/info.html?id=6994382A4DFCD609
Also, really nothing changed yet. Until 7/10 nm CPUs arrive, there's just so much space for cores. AMD's aggressive pricing shifted Intel's lineup a bit: 8 cores arrived on the consumer socket and high-core Xeons were rebranded for the "enthusiast" platform. But we had all that already.
Moving to 7nm means more cores can actually be packed into a package, so we'll see a 64 core EPYC.
That said... in the 64-core EPYC chiplet design, a big part (1/3) of the socket is used by the IO die.
Intel announced they're working on a 48-core Xeon for the LGA 3647 (still on 14nm).
It'll all come down to power consumption and single-core performance.
7820x commands the same number of cores as 2700x and is clocked higher.
(and last time I've checked 2700x was 156 Euro)
And on gaming side of things, those are tests ran on nvidia and nvidia didn't have reasons to bother optimizing the drivers for AMD, Buldozer was that bad.
Pushing the clocks too far will just eat up the efficiency gains. And remember that the increased density will limit the maximum cooling per area.
The problem with GCN has always been undersaturation. There is already plenty of untamed performance, what AMD needs is not a brute-force approach, but smarter utilization of the resources they already have.
