I can see it. They nearly did it with Maxwell over Kepler (which was a 40+% jump). With better efficiency this go around, it's entirely possible. |
True, but that's like saying Zen 3 can be a 40% uplift because it happened with Excavator to Zen. Kepler was about even with early GCN, and both weren't exactly setting the world on fire even compared to the power-hungry GPUs of the late Terascale and Fermi architectures. Low-hanging fruits and all of that, like back in the 90's, where every yeard had a very major clock + IPC uplift.
Of course, this could mean something like TOPS or gaming with RT, which then yeah, it's more feasible if we're talking about specific hardware features and loads. Lots of extra die space to play with with a die shrink.
