No.
| thismeintiel said: Ok. Those are all older links, with only one being the very beginning of 2017. Here's some newer ones I found that all point to a 2019 release of Navi. Also, the slides in their suggest a 2018 release of the Vega 20. http://segmentnext.com/2017/01/17/navi-10-amd-gpu/

Two of the links I provided are from 2017. One is Anandtech. Which is one of the most reliable tech sites on the internet, don't dismiss it so casually. ;)
And if we look at pcgamesn.com link you provided... And I quote: "AMD have already confirmed that they will be releasing Vega graphics cards in the first half of 2017"
The pcgamesn.com states the Vega 20 is a rumor. Aka. Not a part of the officially released AMD roadmap.
And I quote: "There have though been earlier rumours of a Vega 20 GPU that AMD are working on with GlobalFoundaries. The Vega 20 is reportedly going to be a 7nm GPU releasing in 2018 with up to 32GB of HBM2 and memory bandwidth of a ludicrous-speed 1TB/s."
The tweaktown link you provided also says Vega 20 will be dropping in 2019. And I quote: "But it's Vega 20 that has me interested, expected in 2019"
Your first two links back up your claim. Sadly, those sites do not have the credability of something like Anandtech or Eurogamer. Tweaktown tends to push every rumor they come across.

Sony is going to try to put as much power as they can into a $399 box, without taking too much of a hit, because that's what tens of millions of console gamers want. Like I have been saying, I fully expect something along the lines of a Ryzen 1700 (with the possibility of Zen+, instead) for the CPU and a Vega 10 for the GPU, both customized with some advancements from the next 2 years. Not top of the line, but definitely enough of a gap over the OG PS4 (6x-6.5x, the same gap as last gen to the current one) to warrant a new gen. And if Sony does another Pro, than we should see a Vega 10x Dual in there, like they did with the PS4 Pro. |
Indeed I will. But I shall still provide criticism where criticism is due. You can rest assured I criticise all the consoles equally.
It's criticism that made Microsoft ditch Kinect, lower their console price, throw away the always-online DRM... Companies listen to wallets and the voices behind them.
