AMD Big Navi specs leaked — it's a monster

The specifications for AMD's long awaited "Big Navi," "Nvidia Killer" graphics card may have been leaked, giving us a hint at its monstrous potential. If they prove accurate, this card will not only be more powerful than Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti, but it should eclipse the Titan RTX, and any other graphics card ever made. With its monstrous memory, it could be the world's fastest workstation GPU too.

AMD's RX 5700 XT is the fastest GPU it's ever made (apart from the limited Radeon VII), especially when overclocked. But it's still a good 30-40 percent behind the RTX 2080 Ti, Nvidia's fastest gamer graphics card. Big Navi, however, could be close to twice as fast the 5700 XT, easily eclipsing the 2080 Ti.

In the leaked specifications (via WCCFTech), the Big Navi GPU would have 5,120 stream processors over its 80 Compute Units. We don't have any clock speed information, but we're told it has 24GB of HBM2e. When combined with its alleged 4,096-bit memory bus, this woulc give it a bandwidth of 2TBps, more than three times that of the 2080 Ti and five times that of the 5700 XT.

Somehow, this monstrous GPU still only pulls 275w, which would be the biggest story of this monster graphics card if it proves true. It would suggest that clock speeds will be relatively low to compensate, but that in turns opens up huge potential for overclocking with advanced cooling.

We'll have to wait a few more months to find out just how accurate this specifications are, but the potential is certainly there for an absolute monster of a graphics card. A perfect counterpoint to Nvidia's alleged incoming 3000-series Ampere GPUs.
