Navi 33 (RX 7600XT) = Navi 21 (RX 6800XT). 80 CU on 1 monolithic die like a bit of a stretch for a lower end SKU, performing like a high end last gen card sounds a little too good to be true. But if it is I sense another big price bump again lol.

But yeah I think I'll wait for next year. I doubt I'll be able to get an RTX card anytime soon anyway.

It does seem a bit too far, yeah. The 6700XT is around 30% slower than the 6800XT, so the 6600XT should be more than 40% slower to make any sense. To have that big of a leap again would be a feat.

That said, AMD did surprise us with RDNA2 and they've stated that they want to achieve another 50% perf/watt jump again.

I'm not going to bet for it, but neither will do it against it, at least for now.

Yea that's true and it does sound like a bit of a wet dream than anything but AMD does also want to beat Nvidia and this could be one of the ways to do it.

It could also be a situation where Navi 31 will be an enterprise/data center GPU since we know that data center is where the real money is and AMD certainly wants a big chunk of that pie where Nvidia has been dominating for quite a long time.

But we will see though. Next year is gonna be one hell of a year!

Navi 31 can't be an enterprise GPU. AMD split their GPUs in two divisions and the enterprise one is catered by the CDNA cards, more oriented towards computing.

With that said, and risking being an idiot, can someoe tell me what does "Next Gen IP Core" mean? It can't be architecture because well, they would say architecture, and if it's about ray tracing it would be simpler to say "Next Gen RT Core" so, what does that IP stand for?

Could it be some kind of core to deal with their DLSS/DirectML solution?
