I call BS on the rumours, given what we know already about the power consumption and performance of the 7nm Radeon Instinct. And Navi is another GCN part, so yeah. I remember how it went for the Fiji, Polaris, Vega rumours etc. as well, and this looks exactly the same sort of baseless hype WCCF thrives with.

Well, I'm not jumping on the hype wagon yet with all these rumors. As I said, it's too good to be true.

That said, I was at HardOCP checking the discussion of this video, that is from AdoredTV (Wccftech only reports it), and Kyle Bennett stepped in to comment: "There is a whole lot of reality in that video. A lot. There is a little wrong, but not a lot."

That makes me thing that either he's trolling the members of his own site, or that there's more true than we are willing to accept.

AMD would crank up the prices if they had anything very good in hand. They aren't more than doubling the performance-per-price value of the Polaris / Vega cards from one year to the other, it's too agressive for a company who needs money for R&D etc. so badly to compete.

Compare Ryzen retailing for $500 versus the meek FX for no more than $200, or Vega coming for a mere $500 - $700, way lower than the top GeForce cards, when it's implied the design is quite troublesome to manufacture.

That would be my two cents at least.
