He even specifically responded to my post in his video.
1) He got his info from mobile OEMs which claim that Mobile Navi 24 will be faster than mobile RTX 3050 Ti is.
2) He has info that Navi 24 comes to desktop and stonks 3050 Ti at 120W TDP.
3) VideoCardz and Kopite7Kimi say that 3050 on desktop is based on 106 die, with 3072 CUDA cores and 128 bit bus with 8 GB VRAM.
The problem is this he constantly confuses desktop with mobile and its because of TechPowerUp database.
In TPU database GA107, on which mobile is 3050 series is based, is placed at 3072 CUDA cores and 128 bit bus, which is completely incorrect.
Full die of GA107: 1280 ALUs/2560 CUDA cores and 128 bit bus, with 32 ROPs. Mobile RTX 3050 Ti - 1280 ALUs/128 bit bus, mobile RTX 3050 - 1024 ALUs/128 bit bus.
Desktop RTX 3050 according to VCZ and Kopite: GA106 die, 3072 CUDA cores/1536 ALUs and 128 bit bus with 8 GB VRAM.
Yes, mobile RTX 3050 Ti is just below GTX 1660 Ti in performance, mainly because it has 4 GB VRAM, but with 6 or 8 GB VRAM, like desktop model, would get, the GPU should be around GTX 1660 Ti, already. Nvidia always makes their product placement so that current generation 50 Ti, which usually is based on 107 die, is around 60 SKU of last generation that is based on 106 or 116 die, in this particular case.
What he doesn't get, secondly is that in no way 1024 RDNA2 ALUs, and 64 bit bus, with 16 MB IC is going to even touch 1536 ALUs/128 bit bus from Ampere, not even with 2.5 GHz game clock, and 2.8 GHz boost clock. We are talking about at least 20% more performance from 3050 that is based on 106 die. Navi 24 may be around RX 5500 XT 4 GB up to GTX 1660 GDDR5 in performance, but that is it. RTX 3050 on the other hand - it will be around RTX 2060 6 GB.
Its hard to imagine that AMD would rework whole design and power delivery for Navi 24 to make a 95W TDP GPU a 120 W TDP GPU to compete with basically an RTX 2060. Why did I talked about people confusing Navi 24 with Navi 23?
RX 6600 is 132W in power draw. RTX 3060 has 3840 CUDA cores/1792 ALUs with 192 bit bus. Is it really that difficult to see that direct competitor for 3072 CUDA core/128 Bit is a 1536 ALU/96-128 bit bus Navi 23 cut down GPU with 120W's of power, that ACTUALLY CAN compete with "basically" a RTX 2060 6 GB?
And lastly. RTX 3050 is not a competitor for ARC A380, nor for RX 6500 XT, that is based on Navi 24. Hoo no. 3050, based on 106 die, with 3072 CUDA cores is a competitor for Intel ARC A5XX series, with 256 or 192 EUs. Is a completely different performance category compared to 128 EU DG2 and Navi 24.
P.S. This is not an attack on him
