That bolded part is either pretty dishonest or not well enough researched.

Bandwidth rose by 15%, that's true... but the game clock also rose by 12%, though in practice the difference is lower in the benchmarks as the boost clock didn't rise as much (only 5%) and the power limit for the GPU itself rose by 11% while the TDP of the entire card went from 300W to 350W. Performance in general went up by 5-10% depending on the game.

So pinning it all on the bandwidth feels pretty shady, as if you wanted to find a proof that AMD would  have been better had they chosen GDDR6X like NVidia. It did have an effect, but much smaller than you insinuated.

I said the main thing and didn't say the only thing... You should re-read the sentences before you reply to them. You also need to chill on your accusations.

True, sorry, jumped the gun a bit there, mea culpa for that.

It's still wrong though as it's not really the main thing, the clock speed increase does the heavy lifting here with 5 from the 5-10% increase stemming directly from it, which is why it felt dishonest to me. But I shouldn't have attacked you like that, sorry.
