In addition to all these numbers, AMD also finally fixed the GPU reset bug with 6800 cards[1], which is huge for those of us running GPU passthrough to a VM as a BACO workaround kernel patch is no longer needed. Possibly going to be more stable on Linux as well as the card can recover itself from crashes. Big Navi also has its driver upstreamed in current 5.9 kernel so no more first day disaster like Navi.

(Meanwhile Nvidia also removed the "error 43" limitation when it detected the card is being run in a VM, so VFIO scene is getting a lot more interesting in this generation.)
