All die sizes are within 5mm^2. The poster here has been right on some things in the past afaik, and to his credit was the first to saying 505mm^2 for Navi21, which other people have backed up. Even still though, take the following with a pich of salt.

Navi21 - 505mm^2

Navi22 - 340mm^2

Navi23 - 240mm^2

So you dont believe igor then?Because top card is 355w not 300w.300w is for slowest SKU
Im trying to see past the rumors that he brings. What is "behind" them, where those information can come from.

Remember, he is only reporting what he has been told by AIBs and what he assumes based on this.

Partially correct, or partially full data can lead you to wrong assumptions.

Paul's exclusive info on RDNA2. His sources say that RDNA2 GPUs are going to be very competitive against Nvidia GPUs, and on the upcoming even AMD will announce three GPUs: 6900 XT, 6800 XT and 6800.

So this would pretty decently line up with few recent leaks about clock speeds, CU counts, etc.

Only a week to go until we see how it all pans out.

Wattage seems pretty high until you see things like this.

People claiming that Nvidia's high prices will force people to buy consoles.



Mirrors Edge Catalyst was Nvidia sponsored game and Nvidia pushed 8GB textures because they had VRAM advantage. (1080 8GB vs Fury X 4GB) And received a lot of hate because of it.
So AMD cards ran at lower settings.



AdoredTV, Coreteks, Good Old Gamer, Moore's Law is Dead, RedGamingTech always hyping AMD as second coming of Jesus but always get forgiveness from AMD fanboys after they fail to deliver.



As I posted above Spider Man has low quality RT. DMC5 RT needs detailed analysis but why RT not coming to PC? DMC5 is AMD sponsored game after all.



This is the guy who started RDNA2 is Nvidia killer. But now only it's only very competitive? Another tech youtuber who's exposing Nvidia dirty works but failing to deliver valid info?
We're 7 days away and the cope on display here is reaching levels previously thought unattainable

Aaaaand you are...?

P.S. This is also the guy who broke out Infinity Cache rumor weeks before it become semi-official, when AMD registered the trademarks for it.

"Nvidia Killer" was Navi23 specifically, and a long, long time ago I asked him about it in DM. At the time he didn't believe AMD thought it was a high end die either, he said that it was being called "Nvidia Killer" because it would be an extremely, extremely competitive product for what it's supposed to be. At this time he didn't think AMD would even be competitive on the high end at all - this was late last year if memory serves me correctly.

So I'd waiting for more info on the die, and what it's targetting.
