For a minute I thought
@humbug was talking to his imaginary friend Fox, but then I realised I put him on ignore list several years ago
There is some chatter around the watercooler, that AMD set out some relatively insane targets for RDNA3. I mean Radeon 7 was 7nm, 6900xt is also 7nm. Performance difference between those two?
Now add new node, and only an idiot would assume that AMD cannot bring some major improvements again, I'm sure their main targets will be to improve RT.
RDNA2 is the first arch done by "in the green" AMD. All the archs before that were done with shoestring budget.
RTX 2000 series was beating AMD GPUs so bad, that no one even expected AMD to even come close to 3000 series. Yet here we are, AMD going neck a neck with nVidia's best, just in one generation.
The pandora's box has been opened, AMD engineers have been underappreciated and underpaid for too long, they have a bone to pick, and since money tap is open now for R&D, I expect some great things from AMD.
One area where I am still sceptical about AMD's execution is software department, and how they will go about optimising games and some other software for their future GPUs. nVidia does that brilliantly.
