Navi hits 2019, not 2018.  Next year, AMD will have the Vega 64 Pro Duo (this may still release late this year) and Vega 20.  Not sure what the latter will be called.  Maybe Vega 64+.  But, that is supposed to be 20% more powerful than the normal Vega 64, so that is probably what is going to be competing with Volta until Navi is actually ready for the masses.  The Volta may still prove to be a little more powerful, but my guess is AMD is going to try to beat them on price next year.

I must have missed the delay announcement, last I checked Navi was on AMD's roadmap for a Q3/Q4 2018 release. 

Those were from leaked slides that came out sometime in early-mid 2016.  They haven't really announced a delay because they never officially announced when its supposed to come out.  But, if you look at all the reporting that has been done in the recent months, there was a newer slide leaked in late 2016 that shows Navi coming in 2019.  Here's one.   Here's a more recent one stating that AMD just want to launch it sometime before 2020, with its successor due out sometime in 2020.  Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't get delayed til 2021, either.  It also shows updated info about Vega 20, which before was supposed to be using the 7nm process, like Navi, but now seems to be using something called 14nm+.  Looks like they are saving 7nm for Navi.

Now, there may be the off chance they get Navi out in 2018, but it's going to be very late in the year, and not ready for the masses.
