AMD RX 7900 XT Reportedly Brings 40% Performance Uplift Over RX 6900 XT
AMD's RDNA 2 architecture provided a significant performance increase for the company and allowed them to re-enter the high-end GPU market. AMD hopes to keep this momentum up with the launch of its RX 7900 XT card featuring the RDNA 3 architecture which will reportedly bring a further performance increase of at least 40% over the RX 6900 XT with internal projections as high as 60% - 80%. The RDNA 3 architecture is expected to feature a chiplet-based design with discrete I/O and compute dies similar to Ryzen processors. AMD has officially said they are targetting a 50% performance/watt increase over RDNA 2 with the new architecture which lends weight to this rumor. The RX 7900 XT is not expected to launch in the foreseeable future so take these rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism but if these performance improvements are anything close to accurate AMD could have a winner with RDNA 3.

The article title is a bit misleading, the leak says a minimum of a 40% increase to performance per watt and a 60-70% performance increase.
Looming.
www.computerbase.de/2020-12/amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-review-test/2/#abschnitt_benchmarks_in_sieben_topaktuellen_spielenThe global chip shortage (real one) has nothing to do with either RDNA2 or Ampere GPUs, which are in shortage only because entire planet is involved crypto buble/ponzi.
+40% perf/watt, +60-70% perf.
And yes my numbers differ from the slide as I always take conservative values of any rumors. 50% to performance per watt whereas I stated 40 and a max uplift of 80% whereas I stated 70%. I take rumors with a big grain of salt. Given AMD's progress with RDNA thus far saying 40% minimum is less a leak and more something anyone who's been following the market could come up with based on an educated guess.
