Navi is here, and based on the impressive performance of the “midrange” RX 5700 series – which handily outclass RX Vega 64 with fewer Compute Units thanks to the new RDNA architecture – it was inevitable that Radeon VII and its expensive HBM2 memory and aging GCN architecture would eventually be phased out. But after just 5 months?

From the Cowcotland report (translated):

“This morning, during our tour of shops and prices, we found that the RADEON VII was no longer referenced in some shops and that the few models available here and there had exploded in price. A sign that does not mislead on the survival time of a card.

And we had confirmation a few minutes ago that the card had been declared end of life almost a month ago by AMD.
