There's a lot to say about AMD's latest graphics cards. The genre has taken over the top secret of everything related to them, to the point that we can't even verify the naming of models: RX5xxx or RX6xxx for being a new design?
Until this last point is in the air, RDNA 1.0 or RDNA 2.0? Rumors and rumors have tried to pin down some of the uncertainty, but as yet nothing is certain, such as the latest information …
The RTX 2080 Ti would lose the kingdom remotely, the RX 5700 XT would be left to the world
The latest details and rumors leave two very clear ideas: AMD will continue with its current Radeon design and thus introduce the three models we have already mentioned over the last month, RX 5950 XT, RX 5900 XT and RX 5800 XT.
Three cards cover the entire top range and deal with the RTX 2070 SUPER, RTX 2080 SUPER and RTX 2080 Ti, but they have better features. And that these rumors confirm that the last of the AMD, in the RX 5950 XT concept will have conceptual functionality 18 TFLOPS, something we can see soon.
If this is done and is within AMD itself, this new graphics card will have more power than the current RX 5700 XT and surprisingly 30% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti.
AMD RX 5950 XT: single GPU or dual GPU?
It is not yet clear what AMD can get 80 CU at 7 nm of TSMC, it is estimated that the RX 5950 XT, by name and surname, refers to a dual GPU with two Navi 10 XT dual-core chip coolers and thus not causing use.
And that as mentioned, this new card will have the same or more of its use 300 watts, which would be difficult to cool without a large heatsink. If this is the case, the RX 5900 XT may be a direct competitor for the RTX 2080 Ti, but it may not be able to overcome it, while the RX 5800 XT may face the same problem as the RTX 2080 SUPER.
And that if the dual-core GPU only gets 30% more performance compared to a two-year card in the market for months, we can live in a situation similar to its Radeon VII.
On the other hand, if the RX 5950 XT is a mono GPU, then we're talking about the strategic performance jump of Lisa Su who can turn the market upside down and wait for Ampere. Tonight at 22:00 CET we will know more about what AMD is ready for, bet your …
