AMD Rebrands RX 500 Series GPUs As RX 500X Series

No, they already released their roadmap (I repeat: released - not leaked!). They are planning to do a 7 nm shrink of Vega for late 2018 (cloud/machine learning) and early 2019 (consumer) launch. Then comes Navi, and then comes their new, post-GCN architecture.

Well, that would more or less go along with my suggestion that "It seems possible that we could see some 7nm GPUs appearing around the new year." : P I'm not saying that they'll necessarily have something immediately following Nvidia's 11-series launch, but I don't think they'll want to wait a full 3 years after the Polaris launch either, which would mean the summer of 2019. That would also be 2 years after the launch of RX Vega, by which point one would expect them to be moving on to Navi. Perhaps that's the plan though, and 7nm Vega might not even be intended for the consumer space.
