AMD confirms mainstream RDNA 3 GPUs before summer, accidentally lists Radeon 7950 XTX

But, even at that, we're talking about 6950 XT level of performance, which is fine, great actually. However, at $650 you can already have this with the 6950 XT ($620 today). You might see a little more performance in RT and of course you're hopefully using less power

Don't forget that while CUs in RDNA 3 have twice the number of ALUs than in RDNA 2, the double pipeline structure is heavily dependent on the compiler being able to fully occupy them. More of a concern for me is that the current rumor-specs for the Navi 32 suggests it won't have the same cache structure as in Navi 31 at the low levels, which if true, would make it even harder to achieve full occupancy.

At worst, if all the guesstimated specs turn out to be true, the 7800 XT will be no faster than the 6800 XT in general rendering or in games that are heavy in compute. At best, it's more likely to be between the 6900 XT and 6950 XT. Power consumption hasn't been one of the 7000 series strong points, so I'm not confident it will be sub-290W.

All 'if...' and 'maybe...' of course.
