AMD "Navi" GPU by Q3-2018: Report
AMD is reportedly accelerating launch of its first GPU architecture built on the 7 nanometer process, codenamed "Navi." Graphics cards based on the first implementation of "Navi" could launch as early as by Q3-2018 (between July and September). Besides IPC increments with its core number-crunching machinery, "Navi" will introduce a slew of memory and GPU virtualization technologies.
AMD will take its multi-chip module (MCM) approach of building high-performance GPUs a step further, by placing multiple GPU dies with their HBM stacks on a single package. The company could leverage its InfinityFabric as a high-bandwidth interconnect between the GPU dies (dubbed "GPU module"), with an I/O controller die interfacing the MCM with the host machine. With multi-GPU on the decline for games, it remains to be seen how those multiple GPU modules are visible to the operating system. In the run up to "Navi," AMD could give its current "Vega" architecture a refresh on a refined 14 nm+ process, to increase clock speeds.

They are completely different things.

Sure doesn't help things when your nephew comes to you after possible bullying or shaming and as the uncle you basically side with them. Speaks poorly and gives a stand off approach to a situation. You will have less of an idea what goes on with them.
And flop flop flop, pretty sure Polaris sold like hotcakes.
Vega is a bit of a flop due to being shipped with higher voltage demands then it actually needs and low yield making it more of a paper launch, but as a product its quite fine.
Hey amd stop using nvidia images and changing the colors

The way I predict things will happen is nvidia will wait out the 1st gen of AMD mcm GPUs with a big Volta chip (I'm talking 500-600mm2 2080Ti just like GM200), then roll out their own mcm GPUs in 2020. Games will need to be optimized for such innovations, I think the green team will opt for the strategy to give you more consistent performance with a single GPU and see how MCM will work out for AMD.
And the diagram shows 2x as much dram stacks to cool.
And by out, we mean that ES chips will be out. A Fanboy Edition model with 0 driver support will launch in Q4 2018, and the normal people model in Q2 2019. See? Techincally available in Q3 2018 :D
As a bonus, AMD will finally be on pascal's level!:p
has amd not learned that nobody is going to optimize for there stupid module approach
so usual amd politics again...
nice,great graphics lines and blaa blaa then junk coming out aka R9 290 , fury x and of coz vega
and... come on! Q3/2018! august 2018!!?? .. then nvidia have out for sure volta #2
and we all know amd's timing release, paper and real one... not trust here.
amd looks dead.
ohyaa... when nvidia volta release, amd have to use liquid nitrogen for cooling and even that not help anymore..
so amd MUST get something NEW at least now bcoz last 2 amd 's gpu's are same junk.
all need watercool and effiency is terrible!
It sounds like your nephew's friends simply go for Intel because they've been touted as the best for years without any competition from AMD. I've spoken with friends who only build Intel machines because they're the best for gaming which is pretty much the same reasoning.
