Another big question is: How far away is AMD to build raytracing-compatible GPUs? I'm old enogh to remember the upcoming of 3D-GPUs, how big the impact was and that certain GPU-vendors died in a result of that.
Funfact: It was NVidia with their GeForce-256-series, who combined 3D processing and GPU-acceleration under one hood and made successful companies like Tseng, Matrox or 3dfx disappear forever.
I tend to see things a bit negative in this case and if AMD is not able to bring up a competing product by 2019, sellings will drop even more and that'll be it with AMD and GPUs.
Despite Intel wants to launch their own GPU series in 2020 and if they don't come up with raytracing either, the impact on the market will be negligible.
