It's denser because N6 has single-diffusion breaks between standard N7 logic features just like the upcoming N3, which allows for better cell height scaling. The logic itself should dissipate the same power, that's what I meant.
Although considering this now: since that might allow for better isolation, it could be that it consumes slightly less power overall so that the IPC gains of RDNA3 are a net zero...
