AMD Radeon Navi Launch Timeframe Leaked - Releases After 3rd Gen Ryzen

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 tightlipped 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.





Early rumours for Navi have suggested that AMD will initially launch with replacements for AMD's longlived Polaris series of graphics cards, targetting the high-volume, low-cost section of the gaming market with plans to scale upwards from there to deliver higher-end products.



You can join the discussion on AMD's Radeon Navi Launch Windows on the OC3D Forums.
