Looking forward to how AMD is gonna manage to improve both raster and RT performance with RDNA 3 without a smaller process while still keeping up with Nvidia. Next gen will most likely see SAM across the board, which currently is the only saving grace for AMD.

I guess they'll have to scrap their cache and use actually fast memory to make some room.

I'm not so sure about AMD staying at the same node. TSMC's 5nm will be available when the next gen of cards launch and I think both AMD and Nvidia will use it.

But I do hope AMD goes for a bigger memory bandwidth. With cache or not, 256-bit is NOT enough.

But what happens when AMD can't cheat their way to performance through process anymore? Nvidia will pull far ahead again and then Intel will catch up.
