this next step in AMD roadmap should be the final evolution of current architecture, so it's quite natural that more radical innovations will start appearing in the successive step, the first versions of next gen AMD graphics architecture. This makes quite likely too that next gen Sony and MS console won't appear earlier than in late 2020, as using this tech they'd look immediately old as soon as next gen is launched.

2020 is most likely date, though, X360 had ATI's custom GPU that had unified shaders way before their desktop cards with same feature hit the shelves. So, something like this may happen again, AMD focusing on delivering next-gen GPUs for consoles, and only later releasing desktop cards with those next-gen featues.
