AMD Prepares for Navi and Ryzen 3rd Gen Launch with April 23rd Partner Meeting

I'm hoping that the first iteration of Navi won't be replacing the Radeon 7 in terms of performance as it only just came out, Would be a little bit of a kick in the face to have it replaced only months after launch.
 
Realistically Navi is going to have at most half the memory bandwidth of VII (Unless they go for an as yet unseen 384-bit GDDR6 bus and even then it's only three quarters the way if also using so far unseen 16Gbps memory) and I doubt they could improve their compression techniques much to allow them to throw in that much more compute power without being bandwidth starved, I'd guess about 75% as fast as VII is the best we should expect if they're going sort of all out(For this years cards).

I doubt it. Navi should be like Polaris tbh.

Yeah I feel like Navi will come in around Vega performance, it would be cool if it was just ahead of V64. Then big Navi (when ever that comes) pushing ahead of VII.
