:^(
In a recent interview with PC World, Lisa Su confirms that gamers "will hear more about Navi in 2019". Navi is AMD's next-generation graphics architecture, GPU technology which is expected to be used in next-generation consoles from both Sony and Microsoft.
When speaking to other members of the tech press, when answering questions regarding AMD's plans for ray tracing, Lisa Su commented that gamers would "hear more about our (AMD's) plans as we go through the year", suggesting that AMD will have DXR (DirectX Raytracing) compatible hardware sooner than expected.
In recent weeks it was uncovered that the PlayStation-owned developer Polyphony Digital was working on real-time ray tracing technology , fueling speculation that Sony's next-generation console would utilise ray tracing compatible technology.
AMD's CTO, Mark Papermaster, also confirmed to The Street that there would be new GPU launches throughout 2019, saying that "you'll see the announcements over the course of the year as we round out our Radeon roadmap", suggesting that Radeon will release more 7nm graphics cards this year. At this time it is unknown whether or not these graphics cards will be based on AMD's Navi architecture.
