From 13–20 chiplets
Some time ago, information appeared on the Web that AMD decided to abandon the graphics cards of the upper price segment in the next generation. Whether this is really so is not yet clear, but information has appeared on the Web about the top-end Navi 4C GPU, which can become the basis for the conditional Radeon RX 8900 XTX.
Navi 4C GPU schematic showing an incredibly complex GPU
The GPU is very complex and, perhaps, that is why in the end it was decided to abandon it. In the image, you can see the image of the graphics core on the side. And even though the entire GPU cannot be evaluated in this way, it is already clear that there are a lot of crystals here.
Presumably, Navi 4C may have 13 to 20 chiplets. For comparison, the Navi 31 has seven chiplets. If in the case of Navi 31 all the main GPU computing units are still located on the main large chiplet, Navi 4C probably has a configuration more similar to Ryzen processors, when the units are scattered across different chiplets.
There is nothing similar on the consumer GPU market yet, but it is not certain that this will be implemented as part of the Radeon RX 8000 generation.
