Lisa Su confirmed the development of more powerful 7nm Navi chips

AMD's CEO confirmed that a 'big' Navi architecture chip is in development and slated for release in about six months. While a 2019 launch is technically possible, don't hold your breath.

During a press session, AMD CEO Lisa Su fielded questions about high-performance 7nm Navi GPUs, confirming that development is actively underway.

This news inspires confidence. Currently, NVIDIA's graphics cards dominate the high-end market. AMD's return to the top-tier segment promises renewed competition and, hopefully, lower prices for consumers.

Currently, rumors point to AMD's next GPU being codenamed Navi 12, potentially featuring up to 4096 stream processors.

It's unclear which of these rumors will prove true, but architecturally, the new GPUs shouldn't diverge significantly from existing designs.

We expect to see an improved RDNA 2, built on an enhanced 7nm process, closer to mid-to-late 2020.
