I didn't pay attention to this article yesterday because I thought it was an obvious April Fools joke:

AMD Radeon RX 7950 XT ‘RDNA 3’ Graphics Card Rumored Specs Detailed: 15360 Cores, 32 GB Memory, 512 MB Infinity Cache Up To 2.5 GHz & 500W TBP
https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-7950-xt-rdna-3-graphics-card-rumored-specs-detailed-15360-cores-32-gb-memory-512-mb-infinity-cache-up-to-2-5-ghz-500w-tbp/

But I went to it today and... it's not actually a joke! They even say it in the article: "Note, this post is not an April Fool's story and Greymon55 even confirms so in his replies."

If true, it's going to be a performance monster. And also a very power hungry monster.

Greymon specifically said that that was not an April fool's joke, so joke's on you for thinking it was a joke.

500W TBP is 50W above what I expected, but still more manageable than what Ada Lovelace will bring. I just hope the strongly expanded Infinity Cache will be enough to counter the comparatively low Memory speed and very low Bandwidth.

Truth be told, yesterday I only looked at the headline, thought it wa an April Fool's joke and moved on to other things. It's only because it was still on today that I decided to read it, in case it actually wasn't a joke.

And I agree that 500W is a lot, more than I'd have liked, but still far less than the rumored 600W of Ada's top card. But we'll see if any of this is tue.
