Time for some rumours! Take em with large grains of salts!

RDNA3 = TSMC 5nm + 6nm Chiplets + Doubling Infinity cache vs Lovelace = TSMC 5nm monolithic + GDDR6X

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.

30 Series Super refresh is coming

Hopefully, unlike the TI series which more so slots in between cards these days, the Super series will replace cards with more performance. We will see though!

AMD Raphael Zen4 Based CPUs Rumored To Only Have 16 Cores

Of course, if it's 16 big cores vs Intels half big and half small cores, then it really won't matter as long as those 16 cores perform better.

I doubt the 16 cores for Zen4 will be a problem. If you need more than that, you're not an ordinary user and you may do better getting a Threadripper system.

The 30 series refresh is interesting. We'll see how much performance can they squeeze from Samsung and those chips. If they're made by Samsung, of course.

As for RDNA3... I think sticking with a 192/256-bit bus is a mistake. It's clear that the cache helps a lot, it's easy to see it at 1080p, but if we move to higher resolutions we can see that the performance advantage drops fast, all it's because memory bus can't fed the cache fast enough. That's why all the advantage Navi cards have at 1080p disappear at 1440p, and then they lose at 4K.

Increasing the cache size will help, of course, but they really need to beef up the memory bus at the same time to avoid bottlenecks.

Yea, especially as 4k 144hz monitors are finally coming down in price as you can get a pretty good one for $600... Once the stock issues go away that is... I think next year might be the year where 4k monitors will finally be affordable while having good quality screens and etc. And with the performance jumps coming from Nvidia and AMD GPUs... Maybe even the mid range can hop into the 4k bandwagon!
