The author speculates that Navi GPU may be closer than we think.

AMD Navi Preliminary Support Added To HWINFO As AMD Gears Up For Launch
AMD’s Navi GPU, the first non-GCN GPU, is ready for launch
we do know this will be the first GPU architecture capable of breaking the 4096 SP limit imposed by the GCN macro arch. This is exciting stuff because it will put AMD back in the GPU game.
We are also pretty sure that AMD will be launching the Navi GPU very soon (more on this soon, stay tuned) which is why if you are someone who is still on an old RX 480/580, wait just a little bit longer and you will have the perfect card to upgrade too.
The first 7nm Navi GPU is not expected to be the high powered one -- costs under $300 we've been lead to believe. Moreover, previously we were told to expect Navi in late Summer. This article hints it will be sooner. But, all is speculation now.
