The biggest problem is that Kepler, that has a better track record when it comes to leaks than MLID, has only posted the block diagrams. Everything else is guesswork.

It is possible that those CU blocks he has used are, in reality, a pair of CUs or, another option, is that AMD is doubling the number of cores/shading units per CU, going from 64 to 128. They haven't increased that ratio in ages.

It doesn't help the other rumors, like AMD designing some parts to be able to be used for both desktop and laptop PCs (the bandwidth LPDDR5X provides doesn't even come close to GDDR6), or MLID's previous leaks, with quite different info (some of which he doesn't even believe).

And, on another note, how come 3 of the diagrams have 6 CUs per Shader Engine while the other one has only 5? Why that change? Is it a mistake from Kepler? After all, it doesn't make much sense to make that design change for one chip.

Anyways, it's too early to take anything from granted or make eny estimates. The only thing we can take from this is that it looks like AMD wants to compete in all sements once again, for better or worse.
