AMD Could Launch Next Generation RDNA 2 GPUs at CES 2020
According to the findings of a Chiphell user called "wjm47196", AMD is supposedly going to host an event at CES 2020 to showcase its next generation of Radeon graphics cards. Having seen huge success with its first-generation "RDNA" GPUs, AMD is expected to showcase improved lineup utilizing new and improved RDNA 2 graphics card architecture.
Judging by the previous information, second generation of RDNA graphics cards will get much-needed features like ray tracing, to remain competitive with existing offers from NVIDIA and soon Intel. Supposed to be built using the 7 nm+ manufacturing process, the new GPU architecture will get around 10-15% performance improvement due to the new manufacturing process alone, with possibly higher numbers if there are changes to the GPU core.

NVIDIA will not have mercy with their 7nm\+ lineup of GPUs.
Right ... And I'm Santa Claus.
Its really yet another confirmation AMD puts no effort in pushing the performance ahead anymore, but is content with lagging behind it. They had their opportunity to catch up with Navi 1st gen, and quite simply refused to. This gen was the only gap in which they could still sell a non-RT enabled GPU. Perhaps understandably so, it seems consumer demand falls sharply beyond 1080ti performance. Might very well pan out well for them, its not like 4K for gaming is undergoing an explosive growth either and it won't anyway without cost effective GPUs to drive it. People are likely content with 1080-1440 and ultrawide variations.
Not much substance there…
While I don't doubt they will show off something at CES, we're still waiting for RX 5500 to materialize. Not to mention that rumored "Nvidia killer".
Good Luck!
With it still being RDNA i hope 1st gen Navi owners will still be able to receive good driver optimization
I believe AMD could still do more improvements to their driver in general though, which would of course benefit all supported products.
The main difference between RDNA and RDNA2 is hardware raytracing support.
I really liked the 7970 and 290X but really its been 6 years now since AMD has competed with Nvidia Top card.
GCN supports Wave64 four cycles throughput.
NAVI has lower wavefront processing latency when compared to GCN.
