AMD is finally ready to launch its RDNA 4 gaming GPUs, with the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT arriving in early March according to CEO Dr. Lisa Su.
Taiwan’s a small-ish country of about 24M people, and also probably the number one producer of advanced semiconductors. Their family tree is basically “rich bastards that own things”; neither Lisa Su or Jensen Huang inherited their firms, but “work your arse off until you’re at the top” looks to be a closely-held family value. So yeah; surprising, but first-cousin-once-removed isn’t that close, and they’ve both got some seriously wealthy closer relatives in diverse fields.
this isnt even a good faith suggestion, I have a 7900XTX and a 3080 and on the MH bench the 7900 did 200fps while the 3080 was 70fps with the default settings at 1440p. So there has to be at least some generational movement on it and they were already stacking ok with the 40’s.
ok still the last gen kept up with those, and there will be uplift. But really until we see benchmarks we will not know how well they compare to the 50XX series. I still think your statement is in bad faith.
OK AMD, you have the cards, you know where nvidia falls in the market with the other cards (or have very accurate expectations), now price this decently from day 1, no exceptions
Frankly? I can’t tell. It looks like they are constantly trying to get away with the most egregious option every time and expect to be “the lesser of 2 evils”
AMD being the way that they are - they have a good opportunity to get ahead and they’ll just fumble hard. The bare minimum here would be to just be priced better than nvidia, but no doubt they charge around the same and their drivers will be trash offering no compelling reason for people to switch or upgrade.
You are most probably right. We have seen several times already making a lead was not hard, they just decided not to. I mean at this point “amd never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity” is an absolute meme, and quite frankly, correct

So much better than always hearing about her cousin at Nvidia.
Wtf, I thought you were joking, that’s a crazy coincidence.

4080*

9070 xt is targeted at the 5070 ti
9070 is targeted at the 5070
When did they change the naming scheme this time???
I misread that as Radeon 9700 for a second and thought I had jumped back in time twenty years.

it seem they either cant make them cheap enough or dont care to take market share?

With enough manufactured that you can actually get one
This is also a good point. Since nvidia made an absolute colossal paper launch, amd has to gain to go the other direction
