The Vega20 inside Radeon 7 is not just a die shrink to 7nm of Vega10.
It has A LOT of minor changes in the rendering and compute pipelines, adding 700M more transistors and e.g additional integer accumulators possibly useful for hashcat.
The result of those changes is a faster Radeon 7 GPU clock-for-clock than Vega64, according to Anandtech's tests.
Adding a faster clock, double memory bandwidth and VRAM to the equation give us a faster performance from 30% to 100% than Vega64.
I think we could see a lot of surprises running hashcat with this beast.
