[QUOTE="Marzipan, post: 919092, member: 1686"] appears we agree to disagree. it's only been the last 2 or 3 generations where AMD / Nvidia and AMD / Intel numbering gave an idea of what it's competitor was. to not make a connection that a Ryzen 7 was to go up against the i7, or Ryzen 5 against i5 or Ryzen 3 against i3, is silly. GPU's are more of a mixed bag, but their RX 5000 matched up against the RTX 2000 numerically...and since the 5700 XT is now known to compete against the 2070, so it's not a super leap to think the 6700 XT will follow the set pattern and be up against the 3070...hence, the 5800 XT against the 3080 and the 6900 XT against the 3090. and yes, the performance of the part is what proves what it competes against...but there are indicators / clues in how the products are named, which when looking at patters set previously. and if you followed numerical naming scheme's and thought the top end FX 9300 was to compete against Intel's i7, because it's the very best CPU AMD had...you'd be sorely disappointed and have that sour / bitter taste in your mouth. which is why naming a CPU the 6900 XT could be a double edged sword.
