I do want to go over a few things.

As far as I can tell, the 6800 XT slide is more or less Solid.

The 6800 and 6900XT slides however are a bit more interesting.

As you will note at the bottom, it says "Rage Mode" and "Smart Access Memory" for 6900XT and for 6800, only "Smart Access Memory."

Rage mode sounds like it's basically increasing the power limiter which according to GN, has 1-2% performance boost and Smart Access Memory allows the Zen 3 CPU to have direct access to the RDNA 2's VRAM as long as you also have a X570. By enabling those, it can give an additional performance compared to if you have an Intel based System or Ryzen 3000 and older.

Because of this, it will mean that when the reviews come out, depending on the type of test configuration the reviewers have including the motherboard, you could see slower performance with RDNA 2 vs a system that has Zen 3 + RDNA 2 + X570. As always, wait for reviews!

They really should bring back the Fusion marketing from the Phenom II days since this time, there is a good reason to get a Full Team Red build!
