It's 203mm^2.
The claim was "50% higher RT performance per CU". 7900 XTX has 16 more CUs than 6900 XT. So eh, possibly +20% on top of the 50%, eh?...

Hopefully it'll get clearer once AMD put out more details regd. the architecture. Considering the huge core overhaul, I'd expect them to get drivers right next year.
Yeah, but that and AMD's MI250X aren't for gaming.
Just thought the same. If it was HW, increased perf should be better.
50% more VGPRs is quite nice. Coming from the constraints we are used at, this basically means no more register pressure at all, with rare exceptions.
But that's where my excitement ends. The practical uplift in FPS over pref gen is disappointing. I'd expect more than 1.5 from 2.7 x TF.
Price isn't bad, though. Expected this to be worse.
If accurate to what we see in real benchmarks then its a pretty big mixed bag . of course its still $600 less in price.
Edit -
Original post on reddit deleted since some users brought up watch dogs and cyberpunk were not ray traced enabled. Poster made a new thread with fixed numbers
leaving everything here for clarity

What would be the number within a monolithic die - the delta is the real question.
Thanks for the correction.
For some reason I got it in my head Navi33 was close to the Navi31 GCD size.

Well, everyone round here who says that 3080(ti) ray tracing performance with DLSS speed-up is good enough to play max RT in all games will be happy with 7900XTX RT with FSR 3.
Yuck.

1.5X 6650 XT would be around 6800 level at 1440p.

Kinda but that performance has been on the market for 2 years now, and it was launched at $700...
The biggest elephant in the room now is how a $1000 7900XTX will compete against a $1200 4080. 355W vs 320W should also be interesting.
For me personally it wouldn't be enough of an increase over my 3080 to warrant a purchase. The big games I am looking forward too would be Starfield , fable , elder scrolls 6 , avowed , dead space remake and Calisto protocol. I think I can safely hold off and wait to see what the new carsd look like performance wise on those games as they come. Think my 3700 and am4 socket might get an upgrade . The 5800 3d dropped offically to $330 so could see that sub $300 for black friday and maybe we will see a good 3d cache 7x00 series and I will just jump onto that.
I think these cards are a good jump relative to the previous amd line up. However I think its tough compared to the current Nvidia line up. I do wonder if we actually had benchmarks of the 4080 runt if this wouldn't have looked better
When discussing Snowdrop they talked about "smarter ray processing than what DXR alone can provide" which seemed like the opportunities mentioned in console development and what some comments from Epic devs have brought up.
Was expecting more performance for RT and would have like more details on the architecture instead of driving monitors that will probably be 5x the price of the GPU.
Still the presentation was at least concentrated on the gaming side, nvidia's presentation was combined with datacenter and had details and clarifications trickle out over the next few days which could have been avoided.

3080 was 700, it looks more like 3090ti which was 2k or 3090 which was 1.5k

4080@16 is also silly versus it.
Only 4090 is and was reasonable value to begin with.
Yeah 4080 16GB probably loses to 7900XT in raster, doesn't look great value.
Basically AMD just competes vs Ampere price wise, even with subpar RT compared to Ada they are absolutely fine, they should match or exceed ampere RT and obliterate in raster.

By quite some margin yes.
All while still being fat margins across the stack.
Everyone's happy and hopefully more than 3.5 people pick those up.
