It is confirmed by AMD that the new Navi graphics cards will arrive during the third quarter of 2019, but without giving an exact date.

The new AMD Navi graphics cards are generating rivers of news, sorry, rumors in every way. It has been said that it will outperform all Turing charts, that it will not be GCN, that it will be GCN, that it will have low power consumption, etc. The only certainty is that AMD, after announcing the company's financial results, has said when it will be launched. Without giving a specific date, it points to the third quarter of 2019. This means that it will be in July, August or September.

AMD to launch Navi during Q3 2019

As is normal in everything that surrounds Navi charts, rumors have started to emerge about it. There are those who point out that it will be during Gamescom 2019, which will be held between August 21 and 24 in Germany. It seems that the company at the moment is focused on the Ryzen 3000 Series, which will be presented at the end of the month and will hit the market next month.

A few days ago, Wccftech highlighted that a reliable source told them that it would not rely on GCN. Later it has been said that finally Navi is based on GCN, although with some new technologies or systems. As we say, all are rumors, which we can believe or not, but which are impossible to confirm.

It has been said that a Navi 12 for the mid-range would have a TDP of 120W and 2560 Stream Processors. The top of the range would be Navi 10 with a TDP of more than 150W with an unidentified number of Stream Processors. Initially they would be at the level of the RTX 2070, although they are already at the level of the RTX 2080. They will support RayTracing through software, so they would not have hardware independent acceleration.

The only realistic data is that Navi will arrive in Q3 2019, because AMD has said so. The rest of the data is a complete rumor and it is best not to generate false or unrealistic expectations.
