Those are impressive gains and shows bandwidth can still be a significant bottleneck, even with infinity cache. The 7900 GRE is now unmatched in the higher end $/perf

4 TB of RDNA should be much better that 4 TB of Polaris. Also thr Series S has 8 + 2 GB of memory. 2 GB are slower but still usable for system processes. So, the Series S has a faster cpu, better gpu. more memory and only similar bandwidth.

The CPU doesn't determine how much throughput the gpu needs... here is again a gpu with infinity cache so apples to oranges. Bandwidth can be the only explanation of how poor performance is with the Series S lately. The paltry 227 GB/s bandwidth keeps it at PS4pro levels of performance in...

The concern was bandwidth. 576 GB/s seem like alot compared to an RX 6800, but thats not really comparable as those gpus use Infinity cache. The One X had 326 GB/s, so the new pro model is not even double. The non-infiniti cache nvidia counterparts such as the rtx 3080 were running 760 gb/s...

Confused if the new consoles use Infinity cache or not. Lots of conflicting stuff on the net.

Yep, no way they would have bothered with Jaguar in 2017 on the One X and PS4pro if it would have been just as easy to move to a better architecture. Zen 2 should still be able to hit 60 fps in just about everything. Would have been nice if they would have pushed to a 384 bit bus like the One X...

So yeah, it's basically an 8 core Renoir CPU which is basically Zen 2 with less cache and lower latency. Generally, the R7 4800s performs worse than even an R5 3600, so yeah, more cache would have been a massive improvement. https://youtu.be/cZS-4PgD4SI?si=6y8fNh_K5dx7BsmJ

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 8 cores of Zen 2 be more akin to a 3700x? Seems like they could have done much better on the cpu side, even with power limits. Got it that the GPU is the most important part - improvements there and with bandwidth look similar to ps4 to ps4 pro but far...

There is likely a point of diminishing returns for cache, but it could prove to be a more cost effective way of compartmentalizing products for the manufacture instead of 'fusing off' good silicon.

Yep, it's why the 4070ti Super seems to be weaker against the 4080 than many would have guessed.

Then again, 96 bit gddr7 will be the same speed as 128 bit gddr6x or around 160 bit gddr6. That should be fast enough foe the mid range and 12 GB would be a perfect vram size for that performance level.

So same chip capacity at speeds 1/3 faster than gddr6. https://www.techpowerup.com/320185/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series-blackwell-to-use-28-gbps-gddr7-memory-speed So basically a 192 bit gddr7 would be the same speed as a 256 bit gddr6x. That's not factoring in any cache speed and size...

HUB finally reviews the mini 3050: https://youtu.be/eRVYK9LtHLc?si=62Qlx4Dq_SaM4xns His only real complaint was the naming. The Radeon 6600 is a better bang for the buck but the 3050 6 gb has some nice benefits: efficiency, form factor, no 6 pin, Cuda encoding, RTX. Interesting that nvidia...

That's the thing. Anker might be the best of them - most electronics (that will not become obsolete) are designed to fail for the sake of future sales. Just frustrated with all the trash.
