This marketing should, however, move the lines a little if other information from Zhangzhonghao is to be believed. Indeed, the latter mentions the case of the Navi 48 GPU, which could equip a card called Radeon RX 8800 XT if AMD retains its nomenclature.
First positive point, the RX 8800 XT could consume 25% less than the RX 7900 XTX. Knowing that this is around 350 watts, this would give us a new card at more or less 260 watts. It would also be significantly below the consumption of a GeForce RTX 4080, rated at 305 watts.
Why talk about the RTX 4080? Because, still according to Zhangzhonghao, the ray tracing performance of the RX 8800 RTX 4080.
Better, our informant speaks of performances similar to those of the RTX 4080 in ray tracing and rasterization, with significantly lower consumption. It remains to be seen what price AMD will be able to offer for cards that will benefit from the future FSR 4, for which AI will be on the menu.
