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

Yeah, I saw that 60CU and performance and the $579 price tag and thought...hmm, missed opportunity to really kill it and price it at $499. Guess they're just trying to maximize ASP though. I would have been reeeeeal tempted at $499. Instead I'll wait to see what the 6700XT can do.
Depends if it performs better than 3070 which is priced there.

They may alter the pricing closer to availability as before - they are probably waiting to see how much like a headless chicken Jensen resembles before firming up final pricing on that SKU.

$999 is a great price that will make 3090 potential buyers think twice. $649 is very good price considering 6gb more memory for $50 less and equal performance. However no DLSS and weaker ray tracing performance. 6800 is pointless.

I should have read more carefully (I just read what I could on the live stream). Interesting to see that AMD played no tricks here....... even better!
Kudos to AMD for being fair with the comparisons, yeah, but it's going to be awkward now that Nvidia probably have to use AMD CPUs moving forward for all future fps claims. Knowing Nvidia, they'll just say "Unspecified CPU" or something like that in the footnotes. :p

We can only hope. A big price drop on the 6800 when it hits retail in force - with lots of stock, right?!? - would be pretty hilarious to see.

All testing and results presented / that we saw were Overclock ones

Not this one:

Or this one (but it does have smart memory on):

6800 is like the triple cheeseburger that is only on the menu because sales of the double fall when the triple isn't there.

I'm fairly sure that RTX 3080 Ti will be reality in not so distant future at around 949-999 € price range. There some driver annoyances with AMD (or lack of features - v-sync functionality with adaptive sync, not possible to force AF in DX12 titles, when LFC kicks in/changes tearing can happen - at least on my Renoir laptop) so if NVIDIA can offer similar performance at same price, I'd go that route myself.

It would be nice to see the 6800 priced a bit lower, but it also has 16GB of memory. But depending on what nVidia does with the 3070 pricing, we may see the 6800 go down some.

So 6800 has no ray tracing, dlss, but the XT model does?

Trying to catch up because I can't watch the event. Stupid lunch time meetings at work that I need to pay attention to.

The 6800 has all of the features of the 6800XT, including ray tracing, just lower performance. DLSS is Nvidia proprietary but supposedly AMD is working on a similar feature.
