This is a whole year from announcement to release, not development to release.
The AMD Radeon Vega VII isn't a whole die, and the full 64CU die isn't even that big.
It isn't like this is a massive die, and this isn't a new architecture.
An ancient slide doesn't change the fact that Vega 7nm has clearly been in the pipeline for ages, considering the product that it is.

I know it. Kinda I know it that nobody can do a massive change in big tech in one year. Vega VII is a minimal effort from AMD, just 7nm die shrinks + 25% perf on watt gains, this all - if my thinking is spot on- this is all to make MS happy. Consoles are all bout that power/energy/price mix.

Look it from another side - nobody creates an infographic with the will to change it later. Something had definitely changed.
