If true, next generation of GPUs are going to get even more interesting than we once thought. Especially if Lovelace will be using TSMC's 5nm instead of Samsung as that would put Nvidia on a node parity against AMD. But RDNA3 still might have an advantage with their Chiplets design. The other interesting thing if the rumour is legit would be AMD doubling their infinity cache where as Nvidia looking to continue with their higher memory bus/bandwidth route.

If the GPU setups will be like this, then I think that while NVidia could certainly win out between the two at release, I fear that over time AMD will have the better legs and drop less in performance than NVidia.
Why you might ask? Well because the super-high-speed VRAM that NVidia is using is both rare and expensive, meaning that they will again put only the necessary amount for the time being and not enough for the future. Expect a 4070Ti with 10GB and a 4080 with 12GB VRAM.
This is already the limit right now: Doom Ethernal on Ultra Nightmare with Raytracing needs 9-10GB VRAM already. As such, any GPU with less Memory like, say, the 3070Ti, will get beaten by weaker GPUs with more VRAM, like, I don't know, a 3060? And even the AMD GPUs then are faster because the NVidia is too much bottlenecked: https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amds-radeon-rx-6800-and-the-rtx-3060-are-faster-than-rtx-3070-in-doom-eternal-w-ray-tracing-enabled/

As for Raphael, this was to be expected. I don't think they will change before Zen 5, where the rumour is that AMD will change to 12-CPU chiplets, which would mean 24 cores with 2 chiplets.
If this is true, then I expect AMD to build some monolithic hexacore for the lower-end GPUs, but like they're doing now for the Ryzen 3/Athlon/Sempron with Zen 3 in 12nm, just in that case probably with Zen 5 in 7nm or maybe 5nm (if Zen 5 is 3nm)
