Well there is one thing I hope people wont get wrong here and think Navi will now include ray tracing.
It wont, sure its been delayed but not enough time here to add in ray tracing tech.
Probably will be on whatever happens after Navi.
We may see it on Navi cards, maybe... I don't think we know enough about Navi just yet.

I dunno, Navi was in the pipeline for a while now, with initial reports going back to 2016.
Granted this could give AMD time to implement Ray tracing but I still dont think Navi will support ray tracing.
Rumors point to E3 announcement for Navi and that is not enough time to implement ray tracing.
The R&D alone would set AMD back years.
The only reason why I think Navi was delayed was I think they were trying to add in support for GDDR5x for budget users due to the high costs of HBM and GDDR6.
Due to the price rumors I doubt that the Navi cards will use GDDR6, probably GDDR5x is my wager.
But I also imagine there will be a HBM variant for enthusiasts.
