I'm a bit curious to what you are referring to?

From what I've seen, yes the power draw is high under load, but efficiency is rather good for an top of the line card, although its not that impressive for an die shrink generation, and both stock cooler and third party seems to keep it under 80 degrees at rather low noise levels.

And there is also Xe from Intel.
Personally, I'm going to wait for a budget RDNA2 card hoping for at least 4K 10bit AV1 acceleration or even better (like 8K60fps)
It's a bit of a shame that CUDA for GPGPU and Nvenc is so superior (at least at an software support level), havnt been able to consider an AMD card for years.
