A substantial interview with AMD Vice President confirms what we already knew about AMD GPUs and CPUs. AMD increases performance while trying to reduce power used -- and succeeds. Nvidia and Intel GPU circuitry is actually slightly "behind" -- they overclock to get competitive results. Seems Intel GPU hardware development is being headed by a Software guru.

AMD’s [Vice] President Talks GPU Efficiency, Power Targets, Chiplets, Cache & How NVIDIA & Intel Stack Up To Them, Says Raja Koduri Is A Visonary
A few years ago, AMD laid out an ambitious goal of hitting 25x performance efficiency by 2020, and the company actually achieved it.
Now, the company is taking things further, achieving a 30x efficiency growth by 2025 or just 3 years from now.
the company expects GPUs to hit over 600W TDP figures even before 2025. The company states that 'Power consumption is exploding since demand [for FPS] is outstripping the gains'. To address this, AMD has a few key technologies up its sleeves that will allow them to ship a GPU that's compelling in both [FPS] performance and wattage versus the competition.
It can already be seen in RDNA 2 which hits over 2.5 GHz clock speeds while retaining a lower wattage than its direct competition from NVIDIA.
The AMD President states that Raja [Head of Intel GPU development -- formerly with AMD] was more of a software guy than a Silicon techie but he really helped improve AMD's software side of things along with the gaming features
