Title: AMD "Big Navi" GPUs to have up to 40% larger dies than the Xbox Series X
Post by: Redaktion on April 29, 2020, 12:58:32
Rumour has it that AMD will be bringing up to 505 mm² dies to its next-generation "Big Navi" GPUs. Based on the company's RDNA 2 architecture, Navi 21, Navi 22 and Navi 23 all supposedly have larger dies than the RX 5700 XT. The Navi 21 has a larger die than the custom RDNA 2 GPU in the Xbox Series X, too.

Quotethe dies of Navi 21, Navi 22 and Navi 23 will measure 505 mm², 340 mm² and 240 mm² respectively [...] [with a] margin of error of 5 mm².
Navi 10/5700 XT is 251mm². Last I checked, 251 is a higher number than 240 +/- 5.

Also, it's rather odd to compare directly with the XSX die given that that also contains an 8-core CPU and all that comes with that.
