Some Lovelace and RDNA 3 rumours! Take it with a grain of salt!
-5nm(no matter TSMC or SEC)

-AD102 in transition or GH202 in revolution?
-RDNA3, GFX11, how does AMD reach its perf goal? Double the SIMD in CU?
-How about Intel?
based on drafts, by my calculation only, the perf scale I guess:
— kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) May 22, 2021
NAVI21 0.9X
GA102 1X
AD102 2.2X
NAVI31(4 GCDs) >2.5X
GH202 >3X
I'm optimistic. But Jensen and Lisa need time to solve problems especially bandwidth. Boring days, wait and see.
In other words, it basically looks like this:
If true and if Nvidia releases Lovelace as their flagship, for the first time in a long time, AMD might have the performance crown for a generation. But if Nvidia releases Hopper as their flagship and uses Lovelace for their more affordable GPUs, then Nvidia will have the performance crown. So far though, Hopper is rumoured to be delayed and Lovelace is supposed to take over so... Who knows!
Gotta love competition, it will be interesting for sure! With those kinds of on paper performance uplifts, I have a feeling that a lot wallets will cry. Still, take it with a grain of salt as things can change drastically.
