I'd love to see this personally, but I can't see AMD going for that many CUs per chiplet. That's a 6900 XT already, unless 5nm is double the density of 7nm? I could see chiplets be 60 CUs for this sort of configuration:
7900XT = 3x N33 dies, 240CU - 3Ghz
7800XT = 2x N33 dies, 180 CU - 3Ghz...
It's starting to strain on modern games for 1440p 144hz gaming, but can't complain about it being rock stable at 1.05v - keeps the noise levels nice and low at least (it's a Sapphire Nitro).
You can overclock and undervolt with Ryzen Master although the amount of headroom left appears to be pretty low. Undervolting my 3700x has resulted in significantly lower temps though (8-10°C under load) whilst ensuring a higher sustained all core boost clock of 4.3Ghz achieving 5129 in CBR20...
Isn't it safe to assume that there's always room for improvement? I imagine it hasn't been worth it previously due to funds or another, superior node being available (back in the Bulldozer and GCN days).
After all, Bulldozer on 7nm would still be rubbish compared to Zen2.
Apart from the unnecessary snark in your post, I'd like to add that I never said it was "retarded".
I'm just interested why a piece of software can't test frequency and voltage, taking notes of when there's a failure and reach the best performance settings based on parameters set for users?
Agreed, PBO seems to be a bit of a blunt instrument - AMD has a tendency to overvolt both their CPUs and GPUs for some reason. My 3700X runs at 4.3Ghz all core at 1.26v, which is good enough for my needs. I just wish Ryzen Master allowed for single thread clocks to be pushed separately as it...
That's a fair assessment, but I seem to remember a similar thing happening with Vega? Plenty of Vega 64s but limited Vega 56s, even though the 56 was supposed to be the sweet spot and could easily overclock to 64 performance?
I'm all for AMD beating the 3090, even if I suspect Nvidia will do anything to retain the halo product benefit of having the fastest card in a generation. I half expect Nvidia to release a $2000 card if that's what it takes (I have no idea if the 3090 is a full die and at full speeds).
I hope...
