I hope neither console uses Navi or Vega. - That isn't next generation graphics.

They do have access to it.
Navi is Graphics Core Next, just another iterative update to the core architecture, it's nothing revolutionary.

It is also an AMD technology, not a Sony one... All Sony will be doing is presenting AMD with design goals of what they would like out of a part... Then AMD's semi-custom division will get to work trying to meet those goals.
Navi is Graphics Core Next. An AMD technology, patented by AMD. - Sony doesn't really have any say in the matter.

If you think Sony is having transistor-level input on the layout of Navi, then you are highly mistaken.

All the trails leads to Navi/Vega in next gens what is good enough. i dont believe it was just a coincidence that Phil announecs collab on next Xbox at the VII presentation. Basically, it is Vega on 7nm, what is what next gens will have to, and  Vega was never planned to hit 7nm, Navi was, so...

Navi, is rumored to be developed with close collab with Sony. AMD has rich story with semi-custom things.

We've known about 7nm for Vega for quite some time now.

This was nearly a whole year ago.
