There's no real split of RAM or VRAM on consoles, they operate on the Heterogeneous model. There are ofc, "CPU" workloads that sits in the shared memory that would remain in the system RAM on PC. Stuff like audio & game logic. But the rest are GPU.

Maybe I hustled worded my post poorly but that's essentially what I meant. A GPU with 16 GB of VRAM has that 16 GB to itself. The consoles have to use that memory for other things. This means that even though the consoles have 16 GB of memory we're not going to see many PC games that require that full amount or hit some kind of wall at that point.
 
Haven't seen it mentioned before, with MI100 the first CDNA card appears to be launching on November 16 which is sooner than the RDNA2 cards. Will be interesting to hear how much it will deviate from and have similarities to GCN and/or RDNA2.

I believe that is Arcturus though? That should be roughly the same as a Radeon VII (i.e. vega20) + cooperative matrix multiplication for NN (i.e. pretty much tensor cores) but no support for rendering or display.

The lack of rendering is why I believe we will see RDNA 1/2/... cards in the datacenter for visualization and cloud gaming purposes. (i.e. the split really is graphics vs. compute, not consumer vs. prosumer vs. datacenter)

That November date isn't its for sale date though from what I have seen. Its the announcement date with details and such. Which we already had for RDNA2 cards.
 
When Big Kahuna Navi finally gets released.

(Update) AMD Radeon RX 6800 allegedly 1.5x faster than GeForce RTX 3090 in cryptocurrency mining - VideoCardz.com

Nicehash has refuted the rumor. The developer of the mining software expects Radeon RX 6800 to perform ‘slightly better than RX 5700’; Realistically speaking and based on RX 6800 specification, we should expect hashrate to be somewhere in the range of 50MH/s – 70MH/s. Slightly higher than RX...

Nooo! This is not happening!

It's like WhyCry can only report extremes (at least he does use the rumor banner). First there was no way any RX 6000 could touch RTX 3080, barely 3070, nevermind 3090, now a report of a lowly 6800 surpassing 3090 1.5 fold in compute is worth a mention?

So Navi21 has that much headroom over stock 2.1-2.2GHz? That's awesome. Even when pushed that far out, power doesn't spiral out of control. That's still lower than a stock 3090 IIRC

Assuming that was done on air, I wonder how much further it could go with a full cover block.

Could have just been a suicide run if it was just on air.

Why would anyone believe this crap? There's nothing to suggest Navi will do better in crypto mining - in fact it should do the opposite.

The top profitable crypto is still Ethereum. The workload is very stressful to the memory subsystem and Ampere has loads of what Navi doesn't have.

6800XT beating 3090 by 1.5x in crypto mining! Stop being so gullible!
