Anyway, I hope AMD overprices this damn thing so I can buy one day one. I want proper 4K gaming this Christmas.

I believe Raja said, in an Intel video, that he learned that hbm was costly, something like that. But I didn't remember the word "regret".

There's Raja in the architecture day stream talking (with a smile) about still having scars on his back for trying to bring expensive like HBM to gaming at least twice." (timestamp 1:26:48)
 
Well, according to his ~14 months old leak:
  • GA102 = 5376 SPs / 384bit
  • GA103 = 3840 SPs / 320bit
  • GA104 = 3072 SPs / 256bit
  • GA106 = 1920 SPs / 192bit
  • GA107 = 1280 SPs / 128bit
RTX 3090 has 5248, so it corresponds well. RTX 3080 has 4352, so Nvidia maybe decided to make it more powerful than the GA103's configuration (3840) allowed.

This doesn't look very convincing. The number of SPs for each SKU should be locked in during design years ago.

Was one who created the whole Nvidia-Samsung 10/8nm train, retweeted this latest RTX/DLS/Control/Wolf. bs. Other than that he's been... vague?

He's had more hits than misses. I don't think he ever said 8nm, he just said Samsung. And the verdict is still out on that - all we have so far is that Gainward spec sheet listing 7nm.

His early 3090/GA102 info has been 100% accurate so far.
 
Has there ever been a nvidia chip codename ending in 3, at least since the Tesla era?

Seems to me they usually skip numbers 1, 3 and 5.

After the "Poor Volta" debacle it's great to see AMD shut their mouth and hopefully just let the product speak for itself. Early over-hyped marketing makes for disappointment if the product doesn't deliver.

AMD shut their mouth? Really!!!

What about the constant talk/articles about Big-Navi being the 2080Ti killer that I have seen like forever.

Yeah but they're not talking their stellar track record CPUs either.
Right as Milan ships.

None of that is AMD, they've mentioned their Q4 lineup (not even all of it) thrice during three ER calls. That's it.
 
All comparisons AMD did regarding RDNA2 were relative to their own previous products, so far. At some point Lisa Su said their GPUs in 2020 would be competitive in the high end, and that's all.

Their CFO also said the high-end part launches before consoles, and that's roughly it.
Adorable.
 
I can't wait to see how all the console SSD and "targeted optimizations" speculation actually turns out.
