Title: AMD RDNA 2: New rumors allege 50% better performance than RDNA 1 with no added power consumption
Post by: Redaktion on January 17, 2020, 19:25:30
If you thought that 2019 was good for graphics cards and gamers, then think again. 2020 is already shaping up to be even better than last year, with not only new consoles and RTX 3000 around the corner, but also RDNA 2. AMD's next GPU architecture will sport huge improvements over the likes of the RX 5700 series, while the work that has gone into may help the PlayStation 5 too.

QuoteAMD is claiming that RDNA 2 will offer up to 50% better performance than RDNA 1 cards for the same power consumption, according to sources close to RedGamingTech (RGT).
That is quite a misleading sentence. To say AMD is claiming something, the company must be saying this publicly. At least for now, they aren't. For now it's RGT claiming something, and basing this claim on anonymous and seemingly uncorroborated sources. That doesn't mean this can't possibly be true, nor does it mean that AMD might not claim this at some point, but they certainly aren't yet.

AMD claims  something and nVidia does the same with 50% better performance with half TDP (maybe the same). So they are in pair :D

Solid point there - all we have is RGT's word on this.

I'm guessing it's deliberate that their name resembles RTG, the Radeon Technologies Group?
