Obviously. Hence the different name.
It will still be Graphics Core Next derived however, meaning there are going to be architectural underpinnings which have roots in the Xbox One/PlayStation 4 GPU's which released over half a decade ago.

Do you realize each of GCN architecture have their own number and code , GCN 5 is what Vega are using now, it might have some similarities, but as far as i know we haven't got  any improvement since Nvidia and Radeon invent CUDA cores and GCN.

Don't you mean die? Unless you are talking about wafer dicing?

Yeah my bad.  No it's not just wafer dicing , there is more then wafer dicing if talk about stability

Never said anything to the contrary.

OK

You can bet your ass Navi is in various testing phases. These chips take years.

Agree that's why i mentioned it on the OP.  What they have now for SDK are probably Vega 

Pemalite said:  

Did you miss the part about reducing the costs of the Zen APU?

Besides a desktop Zen APU is NOT representative of the costs of  an APU in a console, regardless of fabrication process being utilized.

Reducing the cost by making it it more smaller

Did you even read my post? I never stated that Threadripper itself was going to be in a console.

Sorry if i didnt read 

Pemalite said: 

Evidence?

Try to look at the AMD GPU road map, it clearly said "scalability " in Navi 

Pemalite said:  

I think you are confused.
The Playstation 4 Pro is using tech that is found in Vega. Rapid Packed Math ring a bell dear watson? Hence my statement about Graphics Core Next being fairly modular.

Yes it's the same with Vega, i never said no. Or even similar with Navi. But it's not correctly identical. 

Pemalite said: 

Maybe it's maybelline.

At-least you recognized the fact you cannot use PC chips as an accurate reference for gauging chip costs in a console.

That's obvious. Jaguar that used on PS4 and Xbox One are clearly not the whole chip they cut a corner to make it simple and reducing cost and TDP.
