AMD reveals the future of the 7-nanometer Radeon – Navi arrives in 2019

When AMD talks about the future, it’s a lot about processors and less about graphics. However, the product plans are just as aggressive and in connection with CES 2018, the company tells again about the vision until the year 2020, where the architecture Vega has no less than two successors.

The first of the next steps, however, is Vega, which takes the step from 14 nanometers down to 7 nanometers. The focus here will not be consumers but the professional market, where AMD encircles machine learning, the growing market for self-driving cars and HPC applications as focus areas.

The Vega architecture will first be 7 nanometers from AMD and in 2019 it will be followed by Navi, which will be a completely new architecture. Exactly what will be new here is not clear, but only previous information about “next generation memory technology” and rumors about adaptations for artificial intelligence are available.

Even less is known about the generation that follows. This has no code name and is called “Next-Gen”. Like AMD’s processor architecture Zen 3, this takes the step over to the second generation 7 nanometers (7nm +).
