DF has released their Series X Hot Chips breakdown video! Skip to 12:20 for RDNA 2 section!

And....

I am not feeling RDNA 2 boys.

"What's the difference between RDNA 2 and RDNA 1? Looking at the Dual Compute Setup, other than Ray Tracing support, this is essentially RDNA as it's presented in the 5700 range. Microsoft talks about the CUs having a 25% performance improvement per clock vs last gen but when they say last gen, they are talking about Xbox One X and not RDNA 1"

"Ray Tracing measurements between Nvidia's Turing and Series X are not comparable as they are measured differently." "Minecraft RTX demo on Series X showed it can run between 30-60fps so hard to tell where Ray Tracing performance is."

"Shitz gonna be expensive"

Doesn't have to mean much for RDNA2 GPUs.

After all, most console GPUs are pretty much custom made and don't quite follow the same conventions as conumer GPUs. The GPU in the One X for instance is a weird mix of features from GCN 1, 2, and 4, the GPU in the 360 was basically a Radeon X850, X1900 and X2900 mashed together from their feature sets. And as I noted before, the GPU needed quite some cuts to fit into such a small die considering the much smaller RX 5700 already took more die space than the GPU in the XSX despite being produced in the same process yet the latter having more CU and additional features.

Here's hoping but I am gonna remain skeptical. Wish AMD would at least give us an announcement date seeing as Nvidia already has one for Ampere.
