He's wrong though, this isn't shrunken Polaris, it's a new much wider architecture, these dies are larger and more expensive than Polaris, they just use the same config as Polaris on 7nm but end up about twice the size a shrink would be due to the much larger CUs, only 20% smaller than Radeon VII overall.
While we don't have benchmarks yet, from Super reviews it still seems AMD have still undercut NVidia by roughly 15% while matching performance unless you specifically compared their low volume anniversary card. The 5700 non-XT is barely slower and far cheaper too. They just need to slightly undercut NVidia, any less and shareholder's would kick off as they'd be burning money with a huge undercut off the bat, you always want to gradually drop prices if you can get away with it.
His leaks had way, way, way more holes in it than just the out of reality pricing. He always tries to justify little bits of his past errors to make his future speculation look right buts it's just piles on top of piles of speculation built on wrong speculation.
