Radeons own expectations based on official slides show around 7900XT performance for 9070XT. 4080 Super is faster than 7900XTX. Considering 4nm is a small improvement vs 5nm and 9070XT has 64CUs vs 60CUs of 7800XT, they would need 40-50% jump gen on gen effectively. Idk man, I have my doubts lol. Granted you can't compare different arches that way and maybe Radeon can pull a rabbit out of it's hat. But I highly doubt they made that big of a jump. Where as against say 7900XT like Radeons own slides are suggesting, that would be more of a 25-30% gen on gen increase which makes more sense given the small node jump. |
That's the more likely scenario.
The ~15% N4 'performance improvement' is more than reflected in the 2900 MHz clock speeds. Couple that with 6% more CUs vs. the 7800 and you land around the 7900 XT. Maybe it will have a little bit more performance than that from higher IPC (some leaks estimate the die to be as large as a 4080, so these transistors must be going somewhere) but it's obvious that RDNA4 is a stopgap architecture before UDNA.
The real questions are how good RT and FSR4 are going to be.
