Notes

FP16 performance is 41.47 TFLOPS calculated at 2:1 ratio to FP32, which is standard for RDNA 2 architecture
FP32 TFLOPS calculated as 4,608 stream processors × 2,250 MHz boost clock × 2 ops/cycle = 20.74 TFLOPS
Memory bandwidth calculated as 256-bit bus × 16 Gbps effective = 512 GB/s
RDNA 2 architecture does not include dedicated AI/ML accelerators or tensor cores
The 128MB Infinity Cache significantly improves effective memory bandwidth beyond the raw 512 GB/s specification
Built on TSMC 7nm process with 520 mm² die size containing 26.8 billion transistors
MSRP of $649 USD verified from multiple sources including Tom's Guide, Wikipedia, and VideoCardz at launch on November 18, 2020
