Apparently, Big Navi has now crossed the pond. This information comes from the Chinese forum chiphell, so take it with the usual dehydrated saline solution. Anyways, the post which was pretty badly translated says that engineering samples are on the way to North America for testing and it complements some of the specs we were expecting. I say complement because this hardly confirms anything, it’s just adding fuel to the smokeless fire. So, Navi 21 would have double the CU of the RX 5700 XT, so 80Cu or 5120 Stream processors. That’s an insane amount, I know we’ve been hearing the same number for a while, but damn, it's still so much. According to the post, the internal evaluation is 2080ti meaning it could match it? Or its explosive 2080Ti? See the translation is absolutely horrible. Anyways, if Big Navi comes in later this year, or even in the summer, it better be leagues above the 2080ti because it’s not a year and some change old, the green team did not fall asleep. Plus, there are already rumors brewing that Ampere, or Hopper, we still don't know which name will be on desktop, could boast 60 SM’s and up to 16GB of Vram on its GA103 variant. That’s supposedly the 3080. That’s 20SM’s less than AMD but different architectures, different levels of performance.
Anyways, going back to AMD. other high-end cards would also be released After Navi 21. This would likely be the Navi 23 that we’ve heard about. Could be better, or it could be worse, although Navi 23 has been nicknamed the Nvidia Killer if that’s any indication.
Alright, Let’s move on to a little bit of Intel, PC manufacturers are talking, and there’s some good news if you were waiting for the Blue team’s next chips. The Digitimes says its sources at PC manufacturers have seen price cut proposals from intel. But, those price cuts won't come until the middle of this year. While we were expecting Comet Lake for April, the total absence of the chip at CES means it might be delayed to the middle of the year. So intel might price their chips right for once, knowing what they did to Cascade lake X’s price, we might have a pleasant surprise.the yields on these chips must be flawless thanks to years of tweaking.
