I have provided evidence for many of my claims and counter claims though.

In non-DRAM limited scenarios. (I.E. 4GB and less) Fiji beats Polaris hands down.

The point was about comparing Maxwell to Polaris. And the point I made is that Maxwell, despite being built at 28nm is just as efficient/more so than Polaris at 14nm.
Whether you asked for power consumption benchmarks or not is thus besides the point.

4672 SP (73 CU's) isn't happening. That is an insanely large chip for something that is a mid-range part... And that would be a die-harvested part even still, meaning it's going to be an even larger chip than the CU counts would otherwise imply.
You do understand that costs are a very real issue for mid-range parts, right? You do understand that don't you?

Vega 7 with 60 CU's was already beefy at 331mm2 at 7nm. (Granted that's a die-harvested 64 CU part.)

For mid-range you want 200-250mm2 die sizes so you can get more working chips per wafer and hit the $200-$300 price points.

Navis focus is identical to that of Polaris. Acceptable performance per watt at an affordable price point.

Vega 56 is not a beast. Vega 56 levels of performance is mid-range, not high-end.

The same as I am , i also provided a logic how it's possible. 

But the scenarios is different on polaris and Fiji, and modern gaming with directX 12 (or even directX 11) and use advance Vulkan and Opengl and Cl  say the other way around . So Polaris toe to toe with Fiji at least it super close. 

It's possible that's why Sony wait for another year (2020) release date , yes cost will be major problem with that , but for a console that will last for 6 to 7 or even 8 years it's not that difficult.  Also Adored TV have made some calculation on Chip silicon size/price  possibility with the size of 250 mm2 PS4 Pro polaris and the possibilities of using the same size chip on PS5   , his calculation is on the spot

Don't bring vega 64 or or even vega VII , Navi even tho it's still has the same GCN it might have modification due to the small die. Hell Many people doubt Sony able to pull 4,2 on PS4 pro even you are doubt Microsoft able to pull 6 teraflop on 500 USD price console. 

Vega 56 is not a beast compared to high end GPu, but compared  to Polaris or even Hawai is big , and on top of that the benchmark shows it's an igpu (an igpu as powerful as vega 56) is amazing.
