By the end of October the new AMD Big Navi RX 6000 graphics are scheduled to be released. These new graphics cards have the difficult task of competing with the NVIDIA Ampere RTX 3000. Now the Navy Flounder silicon specifications for the RX have been leaked 6000, using ROCm 3.0 drivers. The file includes variables that define the graphics core configuration of said silicon.
AMD is preparing three silicones, the Navi 21 silicon that will be Big Navi, then there will be Navi 22 for the mid-range and the Navi 23 for the entry range. Navi 21 we already know is codenamed Sienna Cichild, so Navy Flounder defines some of the other silicones, but we don't know which one.

The data for Sienna Cichild and Navy Flounder has been found within the ROCm drivers intended for Linux. This open source software for Linux distributions has already hinted at the company's future solutions in the past. Once again it reveals data, in this case of the AMD Big Navi RX 6000.
According to the data revealed, Navy Flounder will have 40 Compute Units, the same as the Navi 10 silicon. Also, according to rumors, these new silicones will come with a memory bus limited to 192bits. On the other hand, assuming that each Compute Unit has 64 Stream Processors, the new Navy Flounder would have up to 2560 Stream Processors.
All this is previous information that later needs to be confirmed, but except for a miracle, things look bad. AMD RX 6000 will have to compete with the NVIDIA Ampere RTX 3000, a brutality of graphics cards. Perhaps each Compute Unit has more Stream Processors and we still do not know, but if it is confirmed that they are 2560 Stream Processors, not all the optimization in the world will do.
