    if you undervolt it and use stock clocks its like you said easy to menage, around 120-140W but i like to unleash it and overclock it. ;)

    That last 100MHz is not really worth it.
    Me, running it on 1400MHz even while stock was 1411MHz. 1.05V, cool, quiet, power efficient.

    Polaris10 was designed with IMC adequate for same GPU running at around 1200MHz. Memory bandwidth did not really improve much since then unless manually tweaked. And now with AMD's wattman doing its own timing tweak which is worse than manual setting done by user...
    If Polaris 20/30 was paired with faster memory or additional memory chips (IMC redesign) to increase bandwidth, it would be reasonable to OC GPU to max.
    = = = =

    I have high hopes for chiplet GPU design with I/O hub and separate IMC. As that would fix issue New Polaris revisions face with inefficient GPU OC. Working cores would remain same, but IMC which would be external would allow for being larger/smaller depending on needs.
    (Similar way Zen2 deals with IMC.)
