Rumor: Radeon RX 7900 XT would be up to 3 times faster than the Radeon RX 6900 XT
There are a number of rumors on AMD's next-gen Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics cards. Take it as such, rumors. RDNA3 would offer a significant performance jump thanks to the implementation of a chiplet design like the Ryzen.
It is indicated that the next AMD flagship would be the first model of the Radeon RX 7000 series to adopt such a design, which would consist of two GPU's holding 80 CUs each (5120 Shader Processors), these would communicate over an I/O die. pretty much what you're seeing with Ryzen. The GPU would be Navi 31 and could be 2.5 times faster than Navi 21 (RX 6900 XT). The leaker, Yuko Yoshida, mentioned that performance improvement would be even greater, based on RDNA3 and 5nm fabbing.
It's speculation of the highest degree though. Personally, I don't see multi-chip design working well for graphics cards due to reasons of latency, cache, and complexity. Then again, we never would have thought that Ryzen would work out so well either. For now, this is a lot of gossip and hearsay though. As it stands the way I see it, now next-gen GPUs still aren't expected till the end of 2022 maybe even 2023.
Rumor: Ryzen 7000 processors all get integrated graphics - 04/06/2021 08:49 AM
The rumor mill the past years has been in 6th gear, and apparently, we're now already talking Ryzen series 7000/ ZEN4. It's a fresh rumor though. See One difference between Intel and AMD is that all...
Rumor: Radeon RX 6000 Series as fast as a standard RTX 2080 Ti? - 09/14/2020 04:10 PM
Alleged performance of AMD's next-generation Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards based on RDNA 2 GPU architecture allegedly has leaked. The performance is however based on the outdated AOTS (Ashes o...
Rumor: Radeon RX Vega cards Look to be Insanely good crypto-currency miners - 08/04/2017 09:52 AM
Gamers beware, rumors now indicate that the Radeon RX Vega cards might be insanely good crypto-currency miners. And that will be a problem as miners would purchase them for above average prices, which...

I also hope the rumors are true, because GPUs desperately need a chiplet design in order to scale up in an affordable way.
The only thing I fear is... what if today's market causes a permanent impact on GPU prices?

I simply don't need a gaming graphics card at the moment. Currently I am more into retro gaming also I have a deskmini with a 4650G. I will sit these prices out for the couple of next years. And I will take the money for better times, when prices will be in a normal region again. That's why I am happy selling the 5700XT. There might be other reasons for others as well. So gerneralizations are in general not a good thing

I guess that x1.2 faster is up to x3 faster

sounds to me like a nice spin off to boost stock value that has been falling down the past few month...

it took 3 generations of ryzen cpus to nail the design,and a significant node advantage over intel's 14nm
even 3rd gen 3900x wasn't that much faster than old ass 6700k as far as gaming
This is a weird statement, technically true but still weird.
The 4 generations of Ryzen has about the same improvements as 10 generations of intel 2000 -11000 series.
3900x is not a gaming CPU.
In gaming workloads a 3600 or 5600 is a better choice then a 6700k, even a future 5400G Quadcore would be a better choice.
For allcore productivity workloads a 1700 is allready better then a 6700k, no need to compare with a 3900x.
Back to subject.
I hope the huge boost to CU and shaders translate to higher performance, Nvidias boost to shaders did not scale well from 2000 to 3000 series, because of changes to the architecture i guess.

I hope the rumors are true , that said , i can not stress this enough do not overhype it .... It never worked well to do so.
