    Compute power seems to be the same, disregarding any architecture changes. If they manage to pull off equal performance at a lower price and lower power envelope, it’ll actually be quite something.

      Hopefully, because something like 10% lower performance at 20% lower price is nothing to be excited about imo.

      It’d make a good card if it matched the 7900 XT and a great one if it beat it.

        That’s because you already have top notch gear:) For everyone that’s not already at 7900 level performance 90% of the performance at 80% of the price is great.

        For those that are able to spend 80% of the price, that is.

          I wish I had top notch gear :(

          I just don’t think a price-to-performance improvement of 12.5% for a new generation is good. It’s OK, sure, but nothing to write home about.

          It’d be good at $449 and great at $399 but I haven’t seen any leak suggesting these prices.

          I just don’t want this card to be an incremental improvement over the 7800 XT instead of a substantial one.

          Edit: Wouldn’t this make the 9070 XT pretty much identical to the 7900 GRE both in price and in performance? From what I can tell, the 7900 GRE is the best price-to-performance upper midrange card AMD has.
