Rumor: AMD's Navi 21 GPU has 255 watts TGP and Boost up-to 2.4 GHz
AMD will reveal its first RDNA 2 Radeon based products on October 28th. However new specs of the AMD Navi 21 XT “Big Navi” GPU for the Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card have been reported by a credible dude with information. Based on the reported specs, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT seems to be a graphics card beast with good GPU clocks.
In his tweet, Patrick Schur claims that the AMD Navi 21 XT GPU, which is supposedly the "Big Navi" GPU that all enthusiastic gamers have been waiting for, will be used in the Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card; there are also reports that a faster XTX variant exists. The Navi 21 XT GPU will reportedly have a powerful chip clocked at 2.4 GHz, the highest ever on a desktop graphics card. This also suggests that we can expect even higher Turbo frequencies. These days, the thing with AMD cards is that the turbo boost and actual gaming frequency are two different things. So we're not quite sure what to make of that.
The GPU is also said to feature a TGP (total graphics power) of 255W. This does not mean all the power of the card, but the GPU itself. The GeForce RTX 3080 has a TDP of 320W, and the GeForce RTX 3070 has a TDP of 220W. The graphics card is said to have 16GB of GDDR6 memory, which is also what we have seen in several previous leaks. As for the benchmarks, the performance seems very close to that of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. AMD will officially introduce its family of Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards on October 28.

The law of diminishing returns. This new generation of cards will also highlight the cpu bottleneck problem.
Anyway, still looks like a great offering from AMD. Now its all about supply.
What CPU bottleneck? GPUs have been the main bottleneck in gaming for a while, particularly in 4k. "big Navi" is probably built with 4k in mind, as was the 3080.
As for supply, I doubt it'll be as bad as Nvidia. TSMC seems to have better yields and AMD is generally less popular among enthusiasts. Should they screw up the drivers like they did with the 5000 series, that'll lower its demand.

It doesn't matter, TSMC are also having to manufacture PS5 and XSX soc. I'm pretty sure AMD told us that consoles was their priority not so long ago, before we get to see finalised PC version. I suspect that they already can't fulfill Sony's order (hence Sony lowering their sales forecast), never mind trying to serve the PC market as well.
Let's not kid ourselves; supply is going to be poor initially for the PC version of Navi. However, this time we're going to see a 3-way scalp-fest.

I can bet 100$ that supply will be much better than ampre ;P

10 days.
My hype is diminishing, we will see if they can surprise me. Maybe we will see those 3080 20Gb sooner than expected.
Why would they spread false roumors when the unveil is in 10 days? The "hype" is already there, no need to push it further to let everyone down in 10 days. I think thats something RTG learned the hard way last 5 years.
