AMD Radeon (big NAVI) again rumored to get 80 Compute units (5,120 shaders)
Summary
The rumour mill on graphics cards news hardly ever stops and seems to be dominated by a handful of Twitter users these days. Albeit AMD already confirmed the chip to be released later this year, specs have never been mentioned. Thats 80 compute units with RDNA2 architecture and native ray tracing support, the chip: Navi 21. Twitter users Komachi Ensaka and Rogame independently provide the claim that Sienna Cichlid should offer 80 compute units. Specifically, the GPU is to offer four shader engines, each with two shader arrays, each of which houses ten compute units.Tthese numbers coincide with a rumor from January The only question that arises, is whether this is realistic as doubling up CU count doubles up the die size, on the same 7nm fabrication node.
