AMD teases first Navi GPU products: RX 5700 Series launches in July

More AMD news - this time on the graphics front, where the company is still catching up to NVIDIA. While the bulk of this morning's AMD Computex keynote has been on AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs and their underlying Zen 2 architecture, the company also took a moment to briefly touch upon its highly anticipated Navi GPU architecture and associated family of products. AMD didn't go too deep here, but they have given us just enough to be tantalized ahead of a full reveal in the not too distant future. The first Navi cards will be the Radeon RX 5700 series, which are launching in July and on an architectural level will offer 25% better performance per clock per core and 50% better power efficiency than AMD's current-generation Vega architecture. The products will also be AMD's first video cards using faster GDDR6 memory. Meanwhile AMD isn't offering much in the way of concrete details on performance, but they are showing it off versus NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2070 in the AMD-favorable game Strange Brigade. Not that many details just yet, so it's safe to assume AMD is not yet ready to truly take on NVIDIA. That being said - like with Zen and Ryzen, give AMD a few generations, and NVIDIA might finally be facing real competition.
