They get 2.1 VCN and DCN with GCN 4.0 now changed into RDNA. But yes also me waiting for Zen5 with all them 3.0 (VCN 3.0 DCN 3.0 and RDNA 3.0 with PCI-E 5. I think that R9 APU will be competitive with a GTX 980Ti/1080.

I wish AMD would drastically improve their Video Core Next (VCN). GPU video encoding is a market they are ignoring. NVIDIA's NVENC is ahead especially it improved a lot with Turing for H.264 and HEVC. Soon AV1 will arrive.

Makes sense that a high end chip would be coming later this year. They're doing the Navi GPUs for Xbox X and PS5. It only makes sense that they'd have a discrete solution as well.

I wonder how the discrete solution will differ from what they'll be doing for the consoles. My guess would be more powerful as they'll have more power and cooling to work with in a typical PC case.

The CES keynote did not touch on important aspects, but press representatives were able to obtain new info immediately after, when AMD CEO Lisa Su was kind enough to answer a torrent of questions at a separate Q&A session. Among the new details, Su confirmed the launch of high-end Navi-based GPUs with hardware-level ray tracing this year and the Navi APUs scheduled for 2021.
