AMD Vega 20 would be a revision of the current Vega 10 core under a more advanced manufacturing process, it could be a chip made at 12nm, 10nm or even 7nm. Six new IDs have appeared in AMD's Open Source drivers, targeting new products based on this silicon.

Vega 20 appears in AMD's free driver

It has been in the code of the AMD Open Source driver of March 28, that the references to these products based on Vega 20 have appeared. This new silicon would be a multi-chip complex, formed by the GPU itself together with two HBM2 memory stacks manufactured at 10 nm, all linked by an interposer, as AMD has been doing from Fiji.

The jump to a more advanced manufacturing process, would allow Vega to offer greater energy efficiency, and superior performance to what was seen in the first generation of this graphic architecture. Previously there had been talk of the arrival of a review of Vega at 7 nm, although only for the professional sector so it is not clear if it will also come to gaming.

Be that as it may, we will still have to wait long to have the first official news about a new generation of products based on the Vega architecture.
