All we will be getting is 12nm.
All 7nm stuff coming out next year will be lower power devices like phones SOCs from ultra rich companies like qualcomm, samsung and apple. Considering we are still on 10nm designs this year, 7nm supply is going to get eaten up by all the telecom companies.
Neither Nvidia nor AMD or have enough at stake to get a 7nm chip out the door next year. It's too expensive. 7nm designs are super resource intensive which means AMD doesn't have the cashflow to focus on too many 7nm designs at once. It's going to be a struggle for Nvidia even which is why they are putting likely a few 12nm designs for volta.
AMD is going to put it's capital into zen 2 which means this is likely going to get a 7nm design first.
Considering this headline says navi is a professional product and Vega 20 is also one, it conflict on what we know and have comfirmed already. AMD wouldn't release Vega 20 and have it get obsoleted by Navi shortly after.
