First 7nm AMD Navi GPUs will be low end

Navi is the next generation of Radeon graphics cards we’re all waiting for and AMD seems to be taking it very seriously after Vega was a disappointment in 2018, although we’re still going to have to wait a while to see it in action. A report from Wccftech tries to shed light on what Navi will bring, citing sources in the semi-personalised graphics card industry currently working on PlayStation 5.

AMD Navi 7nm – Top of the range will be awaited

Rumor has it that the first Navi graphics cards for the desktop market will arrive between 2019 and 2020. The first cards would be aimed at the low-end sector and the 7nm process would be used. The high-end variants will come much later and use the HBM2 memory. It is really interesting that HBM2 is mentioned only for the high-end variant, which suggests that the mid-range cards could use the GDDR6 memory that is in full production by Micron and Samsung at the moment.

Mid-range cards are expected to replace Polaris once and for all and their launch at this point could explain why AMD would make another stop on the Radeon RX Polaris line as Navi will be too late to the desktop PCs.

The planned or rumoured launch schedule:

Navi 10 will be the first piece of Navi to arrive and land sometime in the second half of 2019 or early 2020, depending on a couple of factors. The performance level of this part will be equivalent to Vega’s and will be a small 7nm GPU.
Navi 14 will follow Navi 10 shortly thereafter.
Navi 20 is going to be the true high-end GPU built with the 7 nm node and, as things stand at the moment, you’re seeing it land sometime around 2020 – 2021.
