Here's a couple of debunked rumors regarding AMD, just to avoid confusions and silly discussions:

AMD Confirms "Vermeer" Zen 3 Not Delayed, to Launch in 2020
https://www.techpowerup.com/268650/amd-confirms-vermeer-zen-3-not-delayed-to-launch-in-2020
AMD in an official briefing call with us confirmed that the company's "Zen 3" client processors are on-track for launch within 2020. This refutes rumors that "Zen 3" based Ryzen processors had been delayed to 2021 in favor of giving the upcoming Ryzen 3000XT reign over the rest of the year. The call was chaired by AMD's client-segment product managers who were speaking purely in context of their product segment, which is how we deduce that they were referring to "Vermeer" and not [just] "Milan." They were responding to speculation that "Zen 3" has been delayed to 2021, forcing AMD to refresh its existing IP.
In the call, AMD told us that the information about "Zen 3" launching in 2020 is not under embargo, and so here we are. An AMD spokesperson told us that "the rumor on Zen 3 delay is inaccurate." AMD recently also refuted rumors of "Zen 3" being based on 5 nm, by putting out microarchitecture roadmap slides on the occasion of a recent investor relations event, which reaffirmed "Zen 3" as a 7 nm-class microarchitecture.

This one was already discussed, but it can now be put to rest. The other one is fairly new and we still haven't talked about it

A set of FAKE Slides Leaks on Big NAVI Radeon RX 6900 XT
https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/a-set-of-fake-slides-leaks-on-big-navi-radeon-rx-6900-xt.html
A bit of a warning, three so-called "official" AMD slides are making rounds on the web showing what the performance of the "RX 6900 XT" would look like including full specs, pricing, and a photo, of course, they are completely fake.
According to these slides, the RX 6900 XT (With the old Radeon logo, liquid cooling shopped in on a stock vega card) would have 80 Computing Units, 22.73 TFLOPs, 14GB of GDDR6 memory with a bandwidth of 1008GB/s, boost frequency of 2220MHz, Game Clock of 2055MHz, and base frequency of 1890MHz. All this for $999.
