So they are releasing these cards already next week? That's sooner than anticipated.

on paper on the shelves it will take a bit more.

off topic but this is a nice read

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4265254-amd-david-goliath

who would have guessed, back in the FX days, that AMD will Ryze-n from the ashes? remember the FX was good but compared to Intel it was a mayor failure, bad power efficiency, poor thermal design, etc. AMD was almost bankrupt.

Now the tables have turned, Intel is having problems with their 10nm cpu, and Nvidia also is having issues with their next line-up. Meltdown; Spectre, Zombieload, and whatnot, most of them amd processors are inmune . Intel is done in the server market, now amd is going after nvidia.

as the articles says

QuoteThe story of AMD is a repeat of David and Goliath. Except this time, AMD is going after two Goliaths, and is winning.

winning :D:D love it.

SPECS LEAKED

QuoteNavi 10 or 12 (whatever this is) should feature 40 compute units each of which will contain 64 stream processors, as well as 8 shader engines. Each of these shader engines will pack 5 compute units and a raster back end, which is a big deal. With previous GCN-based GPU architectures the raster back end would comprise of 16 ROPs, so we don't know if Navi 10/12 will feature 128 ROPs, or if things have changed under the hood with Navi (which I think has happened). This also means we should see future Radeon graphics cards with more than 4096 stream processors, something that has been capped since the introduction of the Fiji GPU architecture in 2015. We are expecting 8GB of GDDR6 memory on the Radeon RX 3080 while there are options for AMD to use up to 16GB of GDDR6 on future Navi-based Radeon cards.

AMD should make an announcement about Navi on Computex in Taipei (Monday 10:00 Taipei time / Monday 02:00 UTC / Sunday 22:00 Eastern Time in US).

I wonder if Navi cards will use PCIe 4, and will this require new motherboards for full performance?
Shmerl May 26, 2019
I've read somewhere, that motherboards that officially supported PCIe 3 could in theory support PCIe 4 with a firmware update. But that remains to be seen.

Quotethe new Navi parts support PCI Express 4.0 as well. This will actually be AMD's second GPU with PCIe 4.0 functionality – Vega 20 was first, but it's only enabled in the Radeon Instinct parts – so this is the first time it's enabled in a consumer part.

Of the RX 5000 cards, the first series will be the RX 5700. These will be launching in July.

More details on performance and such are coming on June 10th.

looking at the computex keynote.

Is this true? 69% performance improvement over PCIE 4 ? crazy

Interesting. I thought the bottleneck is the GPU itself, not so much the PCIe connection. But sounds like the later affects it too. Could be a good reason to invest in X570 motherboard. I wonder if X370 one can handle PCIe 4 with simply a firmware update, or it does require a new chipset.

interesting do Ryzen 2nd gen and 1st gen support PCIE 4 in theory? suppose I throw that CPU into a new motherboard?
