The clock speed is about 33% higher than a 7800XT with 4 more CUs and slightly higher memory bandwidth. There’s your 30% and then some.I hope so too BUT...taking into account core count and ignoring memory bandwidth, it needs ~30% performance bump per core to match 7900 XT, not 4080(S). It's indeed a better node than 7000 series, not like the ADA refresh we got from Nvidia, but still a very optimistic wish. We 'll know soon.
