Other youtubers making 20 minute videos showing all kinds of graphs to show how disappointing the card is.

Paul's Hardware (video here) using the work of others to make this simple and easy to understand table showing how disappointing the 5080 is.

The GPU inside this thing should have been the heart of the 5070, or the 5070Ti at most. But for a 5080, it's not enough.

The 4080 lined up with the 7900XTX because AMD missed their performance targets by 15 to 20%. The 7900XTX's performance ended up where they though the 7900XT's performance would land. While it wouldn't have matched the 4090, the 7900XTX would have been far enough about the about the 7900XT and 4080 to be legit 90 class product  IIRC They would have had to re-tapeout the die to resolve the issue with Navi 31. There was some brief talk of them doing that and then releasing those dies as a revision for the 7000 series but that never came to fruition. I always wondered if RDNA3.5 was just what RDNA3 was supposed to be originally.

I remember those 3GHz rumors and how they've come back for RDNA4 at some point.

Was the RDNA 3.5 revision really that better? I don't pay a lot of attention to the mobile parts that got it and I'm not usre how they compare to the desktop parts.
