AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

For 3 gens in a row, the x600 GPU will be a 32 CU 8GB config, while the x800 class will actually be a CU downgrade (72->64) over the 6800 XT and still 16GB. https://t.co/BvnyZ7OfDA

If legit, Intels 10/12GB of vram is going to be even more enticing

I won't try to defend what's indefensible, but that comparison is, at the very least, misleading.

The 6800XT is last gen, not this gen. The 6800XT had 72 CUs, yes, but the 7800XT has 60CUs. That means that the 8800XT's alleged 64 is an increase over what we have. And let's not forget that the 60CUs of the 7800XT are as fast at the 72s of 6800XT.

Plus we have the other rumors about how it performs outside of its technical especifications.

Let's put everything into perspective.

On the other hand, the 32CUs of the 8600 is rather disappointing, so they better be extra powerful to match or beat the 7700XT.

Well, the 8800 is supposed to be between 7900XT and XTX in terms of raster performance with just 64CU. Going from this, I suspect that the 8600 will not quite reach 7700XT levels of performance, but won't be too far off, either.

Either way, the 8600 will be a dangerous foe for the new B580, as both are supposed to come with 12GB VRAM, but going by this the AMD card would be significantly faster than it's Intel counterpart as it should be at least 4060Ti in terms of performance
