Holy s.... Vapor-x is back.

Nooice.

Welcome back to the game Sapphire!

That actually seems rather promising, since I don't think they'd bother if the GPU was going to be underwhelming.

Had a r9 280x vapor-x back in the day im glad its making a comeback.

The Vapor-X RX 7900 XTX has got me excited, now it all boils down to price and availability.

To be fair chiplets design is an old story with IBM being the first who played with it - 3081 mainframe. Nvidia played with chiplets at least the same as AMD if not more because they have a problem: their AI engine doesn't do well with chiplets and Nvidia wants to keep their tensor cores because unlike AMD they built an entire universe of applications based on it: neural networks, AI "smart" cars, etc. AMD has nothing to offer in this field so for them the transition was easy. I use a 3090Ti for deep learning and it is amazing: my own in house learning network! - after 3 months training it has a precision of 68% in image recognition and this with just a consumer card! I also use CUDA accelerated applications at work - AMD has nothing in this field - they didn't had to think about this. I like the fact that Nvidia was supportive of science (and of course their profit) - there is more to GPU than games - AMD failed to recognize that.
An very interesting scientific article published by some universities in collaboration with Nvidia in 2017: schmidtbag

nvidia's mcm is different, can't remember the name for it but they're chiplets designed so that each one can have a different function.
edit: it's called composable on-package architecture (COPA), basically allowing them to make many different variations.

I think the main reason nvidia hasn't gone mcm, is because they can sell gpus at 20k+ a pop ,which more than makes up for the increased chip cost and low yields , so instead they pursue larger reticle sizes for maximum performance, with the likes of volta and hopper.
I dont think we'll see an true chiplet design from nvidia until it actually provides a performance advantage over max die size + nvlinking multiple cards or perhaps the manufacturing is able to keep up with demand for lower end cards.
