You conveniently only bullet pointed the 48 CU chip with 44 active CU's.... You missed the most likely 40 CU with 36 CU's active which is more inline with what is possible based on TDP.
The next consoles in terms of raw power will have a hard time competing against a full XT, they will more than likely land between a Pro and XT in performance and depending on how much Ray Tracing cores affect the TDP it could be worse than we all think.
Don't believe it will actually be hardware based, we know what MS is like with their wordings. I know they said it is, but they will probably say it is the graphics card which is doing it based on shaders, rather than what we would interpret as RT cores.
As per the DF video it's confirmed the consoles are using the RDNA variant of Navi...which has hardware support for RT.
Until I have full confirmation of RT cores, then I'm still sceptical.
Well if they're using RDNA then they will have dedicated RT cores as that's what the RDNA architecture is....... Navi with RT cores.
