An AMD Navi GPU roadmap altered by "me" -- to show the AMD current release date (according to AMD). This is not brand new information.
Two things to note:
First, does not release until some time in 2019 (or later) -- I personally will be considering Vega as a replacement for RX480 -- because it will be a while before Navi becomes reality.
Second, "Scalability". This is big. It allows AMD to make smaller cores (cheaper per core because lower percentage of bad gpu cores off die). They can combine as many cores as they want to make the most powerful GPU -- but all those cores act as ONE GPU -- not like CrossfireX or SLI. Could be a game changer if Nvidia does not do something similar (which I assume they will). AMD has already "pioneered" "Scalability" with Ryzen -- so, presumably, they know how to do it.
