There were the same leaks before RDNA 2, showing that AMD wouldn't do better than a 2080ti and we still had a 6900xt... So I'm waiting for the official release to get an idea.
There were also rumors claiming RDNA 3 would be when AMD surpassed Nvidia. Unfortunately it was a regression in competitiveness.
Leaks about the structure of a GPU or CPU, the cores, memory type, architecture used, are typically more reliable far ahead of release, but the leaks about performance are almost never reliable until a couple months before release.
Performance leaks more than a few months prior to launch will at best be targeted performance and often it could be in a very simple metric like TFlops.
The 2.5x 6900XT performance claim did not hold up in terms of FPS uplift but it did in terms of TFlop uplift. Even if some people did think it was a TFlop increase the expected fps improvement of such a huge jump was expected to be higher than what we got.
