(And if so, why doesn't the smaller process allow more transistors?) Smaller die sizes mean larger yields, which mean bigger margins. I can't read minds, but maybe they have the design dials set with that goal. It's a 7nm version of the Vega64, but with 4 compute units disabled. They're also pushing the clock more aggressively. https://www.techpowerup.com/251444/amd-radeon-vii-detailed-some-more-die-size-secret-sauce-ray-tracing-and-more https://www.techpowerup.com/251444/amd-radeon-vii-detailed-s... Or is there also a difference in the architecture where a better design could get more performance out of the same amount of silicon? Which Nvidia have and AMD don't? Maybe.
