The goal has been reached: power draw is around the same as RTX2060 cards (175W), but performance increased between 1 and 5%. Hotspot temperatures are also quite a bit lower, and that’s good for Navi chips lifespan.
As those tests show, AMD must enhance its core voltage management, to not make things worse regarding efficiency. OK, 7nm are new and in their first generation, but it’s only a partial excuse. Turing GPUs are “enormous” because they have ray tracing cores (not very important at the moment, in my opinion) and are made with super-tested and optimized 16nm, but they’re much more efficient…
We only have to hope that, with 7nm+, better yields and RDNA2, AMD will lower their always-too-high stock voltages.
