It says the 6700XT only has 40CU though, 12 less than the Xbox SX but running around 1Ghz faster, so will 1Ghz make up for 12 CU?

Its still going to be fast tho, a 40 CU 5700XT is = 2070 Super at 1.9Ghz, imagine it with higher memory bandwidth and 2.5Ghz potentially overclocking to 2.7Ghz+ its going to be about as fast as a 2080 Super <> 2080TI, which is about the same as the SX.

If its 12GB and hopefully under $400 given it looks like a 3060TI competitor and that's $400, this might be the $350 card.

Eventually it'll be a $350 part the way things are going for both vendors :P

I don't think there are any cards at msrp other than the extremely limited drop of the Nvidia FE/ AMD Reference

and so many here the forum experts said these amd cards wont and cant even do 2.5ghz......
AMD designed these with speed in mind.
Now you can enjoy some really nice mhz cards
Once the market stabilize, atm its horrible as everyone buys amd hardware.
Demand is trough the roof.
3ghz 6700xt, sounds great to me

Are these the same experts that were proclaiming that big Navi would only be able to compete with the 3070? They are probably devastated right now.

This is interesting, this guys performance scaling at higher clocks appears better on water cooling:

I hope someone does some more testing. OC (e.g. 2.6GHz) on air, test some games. Put it under water, test again with the same OC (e.g. 2.6GHz) and test again with max OC possible under water.

6800xt reference live on AMD store and 6800

Not really. I was on the website checking when they both popped online but even though I mashed buy button instantly, got info "Out of stock". And few minutes later both went offline again. Someone on other forum said they managed to snipe it, but I reckon they added like 10 pieces of each only. So all vanished in literally seconds.

That was mostly in context of the stock/reference cards in the 6800XT/6900 spot - which do around what most people were saying ~2.1GHz sustained game clocks. AIB/overclocked cards are another matter though that is quite some engineering they've pulled off to get chips with sustained speeds above 2.3GHz - usually that is only possible on much smaller dies even on 7nm.

Most of those posts you are referring to were in response to claims that the stock cards would be doing 2.5+GHz sustained boost out the box in games.

where are you basing the number 10 from?
 
Do they typically get allocated as soon as they're added to a basket, or does one have to normally complete the checkout before that happens?

Edit - £584 for an XT!!! Lucky sods that managed to bag that.

Probably see an influx of these on ebay in the next few days.
