AMD to Simultaneously Launch 3rd Gen Ryzen and Unveil Radeon "Navi" This June
TAITRA, the governing body behind the annual Computex trade-show held in Taipei each June, announced that AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su will host a keynote address which promises to be as exciting as her CES keynote. It is revealed that Dr. Su will simultaneously launch or unveil at least four product lines. High up the agenda is AMD's highly anticipated 3rd generation Ryzen desktop processors in the socket AM4 package, based on "Zen 2" microarchitecture, and a multi-chip module (MCM) codenamed "Matisse." This launch could be followed up by a major announcement related to the company's 2nd generation EPYC enterprise processors based on the "Rome" MCM.
PC enthusiasts are in for a second major announcement, this time from RTG, with a technical reveal or unveiling of Radeon "Navi," the company's first GPU designed from the ground up for the 7 nm silicon fabrication process. It remains to be seen which market-segment AMD targets with the first "Navi" products, and the question on everyone's minds, whether AMD added DXR acceleration, could be answered. Lastly, the company could announce more variants of its Radeon Instinct DNN accelerators.

I think it'll be a worthwhile upgrade from any platform. Especially if you factor-in nearly doubled iGPU performance of upcoming APUs (read - cheap HTPC rigs with a whoomp on par with GTX1060 or Skull Canyon NUC).
Can't say why but I think that's always been the case since the early days of bulldozer.
Why would they not launch them together? This combination is meant to be the backbone of next gen consoles - the most important market for AMD.Do we have any official statement on Navi APU performance? Where exactly is this "nearly doubled" performance coming from?

They're not launching Zen 2 and Navi simultaneously in June, they'll do the announcement for Navi just like the one for Zen 2 during this year's CES. That means we can probably expect Navi to actually launch during late Q3 or Q4 of 2019, at best.
But sure you can cherry pick my post and try to be a smartass.
Plus, companies like intel which decides to not release a better product because of cannibalizing its own product does not deserve my money whatsoever. If it was up for Intel without competition we midrange users would never need a core count more than a quadcore which is pathetic. Intel was selling a 10 cores 7900X core cpu for $999 few months ago, 3 times more than a 2700x $300.
I say it's to little to late, RTG now days are nothing but a paper tiger.
They will present old GCN with band aid as some thing all new and amazing and top it with a bad watered down version of Ray Tracing.
It will all sound so amazing in the presentation that people spontaneously drops down in split just out of pure joy BUT when the real world benchmarks hits the internet everybody goes and buys nvidia again out of disappointment.
