I remember doing something similar to speculate on potential consumer Volta parts:
Whether or not it will be 64CC per SM for a total of 14SM per GPC vs 128CC per SM for a total of 7SM per GPC, I think its fare enough to expect a GV104 to perform at around GP102 levels (+10~20%; higher would be...
Regardless of whether or not its the best gaming card, the primary revenue stream for the RTG is gaming. Same goes for nVIDIA as the majority of their revenue and profits come from the gaming market. Its their core and primary business in terms of video cards. So saying things like "its not...
Now they wait for Navi..
All joking aside, would be great to see an exhaustive technological deep dive on why VEGA is the modern day R600 if not the NV30 (I still think that the NV30 was the worst out of the bunch - nothing can beat the stock cooler)

We could potentially see a Pascal refresh or maybe some new SKUs.. who knows.
This really doesn't bode well for AMD. I really hope that the perf/w for the lower end VEGA variants aren't off the charts, especially the APUs because im quite interested in them. Ryzen has been a big hit, but VEGA is almost R600/NV30 level of bad.
From the top of my head, the last time they had a clear winner was with the HD5870 and HD5970. The former was a fantastic card with great all round performance and power efficiency.
The flagships that really stick out are:
R300 - 9700PRO
Cypress - HD5870
A special mention to the HD4870/4890...
True. Even your Ti, STM and microchip MCUs/ICs + GPUs, all of them have erratas. And most often than not.. they aren't really documented (some do but most dont!). Not just 1 or 2 but a whole slew of things.
But in the end, they are deemed to functional and work as designed so they get put on...
Maybe it might make nVIDIA push the price down the 1070s and make room for a 1070Ti (spec'd like the mobile version + clocks). Vega 56 is looking like a solid card for the price, power and performance.
It does depend on the software but back in those days, R300 still managed to perform well across a whole slew of games regardless of game engine. Its just like the G80, where you let your hardware do the talking. Sure more performance can be extracted out from certain architectures for specific...
Forgot that ATi use to use FP24 up until the R520 and infact might have been a good choice at the time given performance/IQ/power consumption. Miss those days when ATi use to churn out great architectures and features.
Cant believe this was more than a decade ago though!
My train of thought is that Navi will again be an updated GCN architecture (and could be the last one), down shrinked to 7nm and an emphasis on perhaps MCM based solutions via infinity fabric (potentially useful for GPGPU/HPC market, NOT the gaming market - think along the lines of NVlink).
