AMD Big News at CES 2019 Radeon 7 vs. Nvidia RTX 2080

AMD dropped two small bombs at the CES 2019:
The Radeon VII released a graphics card to be used with the Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080. And a Ryzen-3 CPU works on par with Intel's flagship.

AMD benefits from a lead in the manufacturing process: while Nvidia's GPUs work in the 12-nanometer process, AMD's TSMC manufacturer can reduce the feature size to 7 nm. This potentially means more densely packed transistors and thus more functional units on the chip.
The Radeon VII baptized graphics card with 3,800 shaders, also 256 less than the old flagship RX Vega 64 (top of the video). But the card will expand elsewhere: Clock speeds should reach 1,800 MHz, there are 128 ROPs on board and the HBM2 graphics memory to 16 GB. AMD says that depending on the application, the Radeon VII is 20 to 42 percent more powerful than the RX Vega 64. Thus the map would be within striking distance of the GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 2080.
So far, there are no concrete figures for energy intake or TDP known. In addition, the card will not support PCI Express 4.0 yet. The Radeon VII will be available from February 7 for $ 699. Devil May Cry 5 and The Division 2 selrouqjd4v.bmp
