Maybe that enough to hit there goals maybe not. If not I doubt we will see that card but you never know aka radeon 7.

Doubt board partners/aibs would know about this therefore be able to leak this as iirc radeon 7 was ref only So AMD can play that card close to the chest so to speak.

The gddr 6 cards are more than likely 256 bit as just from what I have seen electrically speaking layout wise nothing else would make sense.
I was just going to mention if you could add the Radeon 7 in there.

but's that was only because was looking at how everyone hates on blower cards now. (ps love the EVGA and Coloful hybrid designs)

I didn't believe those FE heat sinks actually move 320 watts even the Threadripper cpu air coolers have a tough time with a 280 watt TDP with chiplets.

I believe the TDP is actually lower for the die itself and that it is total board power usage probably more around 320 watts.

as for 256 bit it just makes the card cheaper, for now bigger buses cost more don't they ?
