Or it has 240 Compute units @64 stream processors each.

Or it could be none of the above.

192 CU's @ 1.72Ghz could get you there as well... That would essentially be 3x Fury or Vega 64.

We need to remember that CDNA is ditching allot of the rasterization baggage and dialing home the compute, that's a ton of free extra transistors that can be dedicated to the task of more shader cores.

This will be a big win for Cryptocurrency though.

And, with all due respect, none of those extra options matter given that the original rumor from AdoredTV mentions 120CUs.

That is precisely my point. AdoredTV is just rehashing a "rumor". - It's no less or more credible than the arbitrary spec-numbers I just vomited out.

Zen 3 is coming this year as well.

We saw how games still prefered the fast Intel CPUs over to the more capable (IPC wise) Zen 2 so, despite all the changes the new CPUs will bring like unified L3, unless AMD manages to make the new Zen 3 processors at least 500MHz faster than Zen 2, we'll still be in the same situation.

They'll be closer, but Intel will still win in games.

Part of that is due to Intel dominating so long, so compilers and development pipelines were optimized for those particular architectures.

Don't expect any or much of a clockrate boost for Zen 3, we aren't seeing dramatic transistor improvements, perhaps 10% at most.

Zen will definitely age better of the long term than the Intel equivalents, that is in large part to how disruptive it's been to the gaming community.
