Pretty sure, the CEO of the company, during the official presentation of RDNA2, has a better grasping of the numbers, than the guy who made the site.
All companies do that. Don't be mad if AMD also does it.
You do realize that percentages can be presented in two ways.
And AMD is not even the worst. Remember when nVidia promised Ampere would be 1.9 times better performance per watt?

Was looking at the 7700(~6900xt), but it looks like it will be cut to PCIE @ 8X - not good with PCIE 3, I'm guessing. Plenty of still very capable systems with PCIE 3 motherboards. What a shame...
Any word about the new nVidia cards regarding this issue?

BLEH!
If they can keep the TDP at/under 300 W, I'll be happy, given I'm in the market for a card to replace my aging Radeon Fury. I've got this beasty undervolted (power slider to -50%) and I get 90% of it's stock performance at that. Quite reasonably for a 7-year-old card with a 350W stock TDP...

Advanced chiplet packaging got my attention. RX7950XT chiplet design confirmed?

RT is indeed the future so AMD needs to start kicking ass with it

I know this is going to be annoying for some however, there is a caveat with AMDs performance - for RDNA2 on the AMD website it states "Up to 65% more perf/watt over RDNA" - A really annoying phrase at the beginning of that statement "Up to", this is AMD stating the best case scenario here, not the average performance uplift (pretty sure anyone who subscribes to a broadband provider has always been sceptical of the "Up to" phrase).
As for the RDNA3 announcement, note the curious >50% - greater than 50% improvement, well, this once again will no doubt be in the best case scenario and will later have the "Up to" prefix.
There's no reason to get hung up about these statements.
