It's "up to" 62% faster. The clock speed rises by only 20% and the power usage stays at 300W, I'd give it no more than 25% faster hash rates over the Vega 64. That's more than generous since it will have ~6% less ALUs.
One could ask where the improvement in the big die shrink from 14nm to 7nm comes into effekt. A small bump up in clock rate and +5% more transistors at the same power level is more than disappointing. The price will set it on par with the RTX 2080. No need for excitement.
