AMD has just unleashed a plethora of products on the new 7nm node including its new Zen 2 architecture (Steve's reviews on Ryzen 3000 CPUs) and the Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs, launching alongside the new Navi-based Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards (my review on those here).

In a recent Q&A session AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su was asked about the existence of high-end 7nm Navi GPUs and mobile 7nm CPUs, to which she replied: "I would say they are coming. You should expect that our execution on those are on track and we have a rich 7-nanometer portfolio beyond the products that we have currently announced in the upcoming quarters".

This means we can expect a competitor to NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (my review here) and the higher-end RTX 2080 Ti in the near future, which should arrive as the Navi 20 (although I'm seeing Navi 12 online). I've heard from some industry sources that 'Navi 20' is a 'beast' and really where 4K and high FPS gamers are wanting, a competitor to the RTX 2080 Ti.

When will it arrive? End of this year? Possibly. Next year? Hopefully not.
