An article speculates/rumors that the first 7nm Navi GPUs on the market are to be replacements for the RX580/RX570 (not RX Vega 64).
However, while selling for the lower price of an RX580, they will perform like an RX Vega 64/GTX 1080 (it is speculated).
Previous official AMD information noted that Navi was a genuine new architecture that would allow both "normal" and "very high end" GPUs. That's the point of Navi, I've read. Its "scalable" from small to very large.
Being scalable, it actually makes some sense that the first Navi would be a powerful RX580 replacement -- then, slightly after, building to a high end RX Vega replacement.
Theoretically, Navi will allow very high end GPUs that are significantly less expensive to make. We'll see what they sell for.
