If Nvidia need a 320bit interface for 10GB of GDDR6X and they have some of the best compression tech in the industry, Then this 256bit sounds a little off.

I think it may be. However, it's a test board like the Vega one we saw.
AMD have form for making really dodgy looking test boards lol
Its a brand new pcb without a speck of dust, so I believe its genuine. We don't have the source pic either. Maybe its possible to zoom on the source and view the sticker details.
The cooler is probably a test solution but we will know in a short time.

It could be a lower end model? Doesn't have to be the flagship card.

One of the stickers says 16GB too I noticed, so the rumours of ram size might be true

I don't think this is Navi 21 i think it's more likely to be Navi 22 or 23.
AMD are so tight lipped that i doubt many have solid info on 21 and are very aware to keep their mouth shut, it's so hard to find anything solid to go by.
I'm expecting good things, i could be wrong, but it could be really a lot better than people are thinking and even the leakers most likely have it dead wrong, like some of the info put out on Nvidia's cards sure some of it was right but the important parts were totally wrong.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for AMD, I REALLY do not want to give Nvidia any more money.

It's quite possible this is AMD's flagship, or at least Navi 21. It seems that AMD's new cards potential do have only a 256-bit bus, but they have 128MB of onboard 'Infinity Cache'. Supposedly this equates to a 384-bit bus in terms of performance, but is cheaper to manufacture. GPU clock speed may affect Infinity Cache.

Then don't give them any money
Navi will be decent i am sure enough on that, but will it be leadership like their twitter post stated or was that more aimed at the CPU market.
I'm not expecting 3090 performance thou tbh when you compare tflops on that to a 3080 your paying more than double for 6tflops extra doesn't sound like a good deal to me
It was the power on the engineering card that made me think it was 22/23 not the bus speed and cache, but i just noticed the pic is kinda cut off so maybe there is 2 8pins can't tell or maybe 1 8pin 1 6pin, either way the card cooler reveal shows 2 8pins, so idk tbh now.
