The GPU supremacy hasnt started just yet, and while AMD may have shaken the GPU tree with the RDNA-powered Radeon RX 5000 series and its flagship Radeon RX 5700 XT– we aint seen nothing. The brand-new rumors from Moores Law is Dead suggests we ought to expect AMD to outright control 2020 in more ways than one.
We are already expecting a huge 40-50% increase in performance from the flagship RDNA 2 card over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which would make the– lets call it the Radeon RX 6700 XT– two times as quick as the Radeon RX 5700 XT.
Where things get actually interesting, is that Tom from Moores Law is Dead stated his sources told him that “AMD has its sights set on November, preferably around Thanksgiving, for their Big Navi “NVIDIA killer” launch. This is based on rumblings hes heard within AMD from his superiors.
AMD is having one of the very best years in its history, with the successful launches of its new Zen 2-powered CPUs in the Ryzen 3000 series desktop CPUs, Ryzen 4000 series mobile CPUs, brand-new Ryzen Threadripper PRO chips, new EPYC processors, and so a lot more.
Big Navi/ RDNA 2 launching in November bottom lines
November 2020 launch: Firstly, AMD aiming for November implies it puts the next-gen Radeon a couple of months behind NVIDIA is the reports (and my sources) are true about an “August 2020 launch, September 2020 release” for the next-gen Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards. Thanksgiving launch: This is huge for obvious reasons, however AMD being able to be inside of the next-gen Xbox Series X, the next-gen PlayStation 5, and have an NVIDIA Killer with Big Navi– all for thanksgiving? What better present can AMD bring to the table for Thanksgiving than that?! Launching together with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X: The stars have truly lined up for AMD to make this occur, and if performance of Big Navi is truly double that of RDNA1 and a 40-50% increase over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?
GPU cores: 72 SMs (two clusters of 36 CUs) GPU game clock: 2.05 GHz GPU improve clock: 2.15 GHz Power usage: 300W or two Performance: 40-50% faster than RTX 2080 Ti, 100% faster than RX 5700 XT
