Will we see any review from you? off topic (APU war RR vs rest)
Perhaps in the summer, im not home right now

Honestly, in order of most to least likely my prediction is:
1. Shrink to 12nm, make a few tweaks to improve memory compression, and call it a day.
2. Shrink to 12nm, switch to GDDR5X, make a few small tweaks
3. Shrink to 12nm, switch to GDDR6, make a few small tweaks
I think option 2 is the best bang for the buck (assuming memory bandwidth is truly the problem).
So why don't they just release a new Vega card with cheaper 8GB GDDR5 memory (instead of HBM2) as a mid range card? Can't understand why they'd still want to keep pushing Polaris at this point.
What's next for AMD GPU's? I've not heard much of what's coming next.
I think he was frustrated and left because the situation was/is what it is there.
Videocardz is now claiming that this is just OEM rebrands.Which does make sense, the 570 and 580 were released in April last year.

are you the real shmee?So this would be a 2nd Polaris refresh, if true? It might make sense as a more mid range alternative to Vega or Vega+.
I'm sending this rx 580 back because the fans started making this horrible buzzing sound that increases with temperatures. I'll stick to Nvidia cards.
So who should be responsible for this epic f***-up? They have brand new architecture, which was miles better than Polaris, but still release a Polaris update? Maybe Raja wasn't so bright after all...
Nvidia does not appear to be doing the same. They appear to be continuing to push forward. AMD will have a hard time catching up. I expect AMD will continue to provide competitive products in the mid-range while having only a token presence in the high end.
What? Nvidia is launching late this generation compared to what they have done for the last several generations. Nvidia also went with a custom node which means AMD will hit 7nm before them. Both of these are doing the opposite of what you claim. They create room for AMD to catch up.
As the above person observed, Nvidia did slow down, but so has AMD. Also, yes Nvidia is taking a risk by going with a half node, but AMD is also taking a risk with 7nm. I think AMD is taking the bigger risk. Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't AMD using GloFo for their GPU's? GloFo has failed AMD so many times in the past. TSMC, which Nvidia uses, has a much better record of delivering on their promises. Having said that I must admit GloFo has seemed to have gotten better recently so maybe the tide has turned.What?

GloFo would pour press release after another if the 7nm Vega AMD showed running came from them. At least some of the 7nm GPU on AMDs roadmap will be produced at TSMC.I think AMD is taking the bigger risk. Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't AMD using GloFo for their GPU's?
