AMD 7nm Nvai architecture graphics card is delayed: see you in October

  The 7nm process is undoubtedly the core keyword of AMD this year. The second generation EPYC Xiaolong and the third generation Ryzen Ruilong processor will enter the 7nm era. The recently released Radeon VII graphics card is the world's first 7nm game card, based on the improved version. The Vega 20 architecture improves game performance by 20-25% compared to the RX Vega 64.

AMD CEO Su Zifeng has repeatedly confirmed that this year will launch a 7nm process, Navi new architecture graphics card.

Navi has been on the AMD graphics roadmap for a long time, intended to replace Vega, improving performance and energy efficiency. According to previous news, Navi will be launched during the E3 and Computex exhibitions in the middle of this year, but suddenly there was a change.

According to the latest reports from foreign media, Navi graphics cards have been postponed to October this year, which is dragged to the fourth quarter.

The specific reason is unknown, may it need more time to polish? Or TSMC 7nm process capacity is too tight, can not meet Apple, Qualcomm, Huawei and many other large customers and AMD Xiaolong, Ruilong, can not give Navi space?

In addition, the exact positioning of Navi has always been a mystery.

AMD's roadmap has always hinted that it is the successor of the high-end Vega, but there are also claims that it is only an upgraded version of the mainstream Polaris, and there is a view that AMD will first release a mid-end version and then a high-end version, but from the current situation, Either way, it should still be based on the GCN macro architecture, so even if there is a 7nm blessing, it is difficult to make a qualitative leap. If you want to really counterattack NVIDIA, you have to wait.
