Details of AMD’s Navi 14 and Navi 12 chips leak – Big Navi and Small Navi

Rumour has it that AMD plans to release high-end and low-end Radeon Navi graphics cards before the end of 2019, challenging Nvidia’s high-end RTX offerings as well as the company’s low-end GTX-16XX series.

With this move, AMD will bring RDNA to an incredibly wide audience, fully replacing the company’s ageing Polaris lineup with stronger, more power-efficient product offerings.     

Now, specifications for AMD’s rumoured Navi 12 and Navi 14 GPU designs have leaked, pointing towards Navi/RDNA products with as many as 4096 stream processors. Yes, AMD will have a proper challenger to Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super, assuming that these rumours are correct. 

On the low-end, we have Navi 14, which allegedly offers up to 1536 stream processors and acts as a replacement for AMD’s RX 570, RX 580 and RX 590 graphics cards. This will take the fight to Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1660, which is perhaps why Nvidia seemingly has a GTX 1660 Super in the works. 

On the high-end, we have AMD’s Navi 12 graphics chip, which basically acts as an RDNA version of AMD’s RX Vega 64 silicon on 7nm with GDDR6 memory. That’s right, AMD’s Navi architecture with a stream processor count of up to 4096. That’s 60% more stream processors than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. With this card, AMD has the chance to surpass Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super.
