Good catch but I think it's very unlikely Navi 31 won't catch up to 4090. Doubling the core count with a smarter IF cache and much larger memory bus and more memory bandwidth.

If anything, they won't be able to compete in Ray Tracing. I will say that December is also very late with a November announcement.

You never know, maybe the performance won't scale with the number of cores as well as with Nvidia's architecture. Or maybe it's just that the card will get within 5-10% of the 4090 performance and, while that is close enough for most of us, it's can be seen as a huge gap for others. Different perpestives.

And we already talked abd agreed that we would all be extremely surprised if AMD managed to catch with Nvidia on ray tracing. They're too far behind. The way I see it, if they manage to sit comfortably between Ampere and Ada in terms of RT, that would be great improvement from AMD given that right now it competes with Maxwell.

And yeah, the late launch and the big gap between reveal and launch is strange. Maybe AMD isn't really ready to launch the cards this year but they have to do to please investors.
