In hindsight it is a useless article, regardless of wording because there is no point of reference. Roll on review day.Slighty slow, slightly noisy, slightly annoying... it's still enough to be described as such. Anyway lets leave it there and wait for further reports.

Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.

RX6800 spotted in Basemark, on par with the 2080ti

The irony of Nvidia being the ones to "open up" a feature is beautiful lol.
I wonder if they are doing anything more than just resizing the BAR with smart access memory. If it is indeed all they are doing, I hope this forces AMD to stop being weasels about it and open up the SAM feature to at least older Zen CPUs if not intel as well, otherwise they are just artificially gimping their GPUs against the competition rather than offering a performance boost as they planned.
That would be great news, as it would let me hold off a move to 5XXX cpu a bit longer

No, the article finally, at the bottom, starts reaching the same conclusions we were making in this forum when SAM was announced.
It's come to the same conclusion that Nvidia will need to work with competitors to get a version running
AMD needs no ones permission to get its own cards working with its own cpus.

Precisely, see how nvidia like creeping to others... maybe they learn to stop being selfish with their toys!
And right on cue Mr Predictable "i need to discredit AMD's GPU's as much as possible" Pops up with a sensationlist post with ZERO context again....
Direct from the article we have
Basemark is a new benchmark in the GPU scene and thus still not very popular among reviewers. The benchmark is simply too short, meaning that the sustained boost frequencies that are often seen in games are impossible to reproduce with the software. That being said, if reviewers really want to use synthetic benchmarks, it is certainly not Basemark.
Yet, everything that produces a score at the end of the benchmark, can be used for comparison. Today, a new entry has appeared featuring ‘Radeon RX 6900 Series’. No, this is the RX 6900XT, it is simply how Basemark reports the Navi 21 GPU family, for some reason. Detailed entry details reveal that the card tested is actually Radeon RX 6800.
The graphics card was tested with the latest 27.20.14501.1206 driver that supports Big Navi. The testing platform features Ryzen 9 3900X (12-core processors) with MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard. What you might not know is that this is one of the four confirmed motherboards to support Smart Access Memory technology at launch. Meaning, we are definitely looking at a result from a reviewer who might be testing said technology.
AMD Radeon RX 6800 scored 14635 points using the DirectX12 API (the software tests Vulkan, DX12, and OpenGL APIs using the same benchmark scene). This score is actually lower than GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, but still better than Geforce RTX 3070. Again, this is the 60CU variant of Big Navi, so the slower in the series.
I feel we should all go and find meaningless benchmarks that show Nvidia in a bad light and start spamming Nvidia threads with it...
Come on @Grim5 give it a rest now, your so transparent its laughable, you act like AMD drove to your house and took a poo in your cornflakes.

Now there's no need to quote me twice as I will have a conniption (if I was like some on here)
.Grim is always at it, thats why I think nobody takes him seriously or has on ignore. If you are a neutral or even slight green biased you can see he is one of the agenda posters that have some beef with AMD with little explanation or cause.
Its strange as the other day he said he was going to get a 6900XT and sack of his 3090 as 'there was not many DLSS/RT games out anyway'. So there rests my case..
It's as meaningless as userbenchmark which I guess no normal person will ever use.
Doubt it.
Next week will only be the reference cards, no board partner cards, however, all board partners will receive reference cards to which they'll add their own branding a.k.a this is going to be an overly painful launch.

Because of logic that even I expect you should know the answer to this question.
Small design all on one chip needs special balance between heat and performance. They are so much factor that consoles need to put in place.
I full GPU is a single core that can be pushed much higher without having the bottleneck of other factors to put in place.
Honestly I am surprised you even asking this question?
OK why don't laptop GPUs run like desktop cards
As someone else pointed out earlier he is a classic case of all the gear, no idea.Because of logic that even I expect you should know the answer to this question.

He is 100% the type of buyer people like Intel, Apple, Nvidia, Sony etc love... Believe all the marketing hype, buy the products.

Does anyone have access to this software? just to verify how those numbers correlate with timespy

I haven't purchase an AMD reference board before so apologies if this is a dumb question. From what you said it sounds like all reference boards are made by the same manufacturer so it doesn't matter which board partner you get one from, the only difference is likely to be the box and label?
