Sounds reasonable. However, Apple’s actions spew out my principle to expect the worst. To be honest, I already expected more from the graphics, which should have been in place of Vega 48. Its power did not convince me to buy Aimag 2019 (in addition to all the features in it that do not suit me).I am hopeful that the RX3060, 3070, 3080 (if that is what they are indeed called) will give a decent lift over the existing Polaris 10, 20 and 30 GPUs such that Apple follows up with an interim update of the iMac later this year, perhaps even giving the iMac a 10-core Comet Lake CPU.
How any of those GPUs stack up against the Vega 48 BTO remains to be seen. Conventional wisdom says they will be faster than the 500X, but I have been burned before, so I will wait and see.
As for Navi, it is fair to assume that the cards for Apple computers will also be significantly upgraded or even made to order as 48. Perhaps you are right, there will be a good step forward in power. On the other hand, CAN BE a new architecture and 7nm process technology will be used as much as possible to optimize consumption and heating, and nothing more.
Honestly, I am among those who have decided to wait and who are hoping for a miracle at the end of this year.That would be lovely (at least for those who haven’t already bought an Early 2019 iMac!), but based on Apple’s last two update cycles, I’d be a little surprised if Apple updates the iMac again before Late 2020.

I am always pleasantly surprised by the Blizzard policy, which releases and optimizes its games on MacOS so well that they sometimes work smoother than on Windows bootcampI would imagine there must be some Windows applications that are better than their macOS counterparts (nothing leaps out at me, but then I don’t pay much attention to Windows apps), just as there are macOS applications that are better than anything available on Windows. It’s a wide world, after all.
