If it's actually using N2, that seems pretty likely. Conservative, even. Our resident AMD overclocker pushed his 9950X3D to 6GHz already. :p

2027, no? 2026 is just reheated STX.

RDNA3 had similar behavior. It's still something to see a GPU hit nearly 4GHz in anything, though.

No gamer would buy that.

I think AMD said that FSR4's model already takes from both CNNs and transformers. There's room for improvement with future updates for sure, I hope they inch closer to DLSS4.

They could just dial down the clocks and it would have been fine.

Solid effort from AMD. Nvidia is still ahead, but they’re more competitive than they’ve been in forever without relying on a node advantage as a crutch.

Yes, probably very soon.

Although the 5080 is using GDDR7.

Maybe they are, but either way, different designs can have massive differences in transistor counts despite having a similar die size using a similar node. “Performance per transistor” is a meaningless and irrelevant thing.

How will it be slower in RT? 20% slower in RT? Yes, and more in Nvidia PT tech demos. In most hybrid rendered games with lighter RT, probably not if AMD is to be believed.

HardwareUnboxed has some clown level takes about these cards.

Making yourself look favorable by pricing your GPUs into oblivion isn't what AMD wants, presumably. Of course, they could go for a far less extreme version of that and offer compelling value at $599 while still making okay money, as you said, but I think Timorous is right that that would barely...

The 9070 won’t be that much cheaper than the 9070 XT.

Doubt FSR4 will get close to DLSS4. It’ll probably catch up to DLSS3 at best and most people will then say that they’re buying Nvidia because DLSS4 is better, among many other must-have Nvidia exclusive features. I think DLSS4 is great, but I doubt that Radeon’s sales would improve much even...
