I don't feel this is the case myself just not very much info to go on the normal leakers are speaking with basically the trust me bro statements, even the best of them only ever seem to get it half right so until it happens i doubt it.

They had already done so with Navi 3.

IE the XTX was far, FAR from what it could have been.

I think they are realising that people don't need these stupid massive GPUs, and no one wants them now. The fever has gone.

Case in point?

Look how fast and how much the price has dropped on that. Without the game code that would be £200 or thereabouts. Problem is people are just not buying anything now.

oh i agree they didn't make as high end as they could have done but the xtx is only 20% off in Rasta vs a 4090 so I'd not call it low end.

I just don't put faith in most leaks anymore as they are often so far wrong, they either over sell the performance or totally under sell it.

there are some twitter posts where retailers show the numbers on CPU's and GPU's and atm with the last few months I've seen AMD are selling more than the rest.

time will tell, but i do feel that the 8k series will be a stop gap and so not the overall upgrade, have a feeling that it'll be 9k series that is the bigger upgrade.

Rebrands are normal with AMD but i do have doubts with the info as like i said it's the trust me bro statements.

I feel if they do so, then it's most likely down to the node cost as it'll literally be double the wafer price.

In other news, I have been told that Nvidia is closing down production of its RTX series to concentrate on production of the A100 and successor cards. Why sell a chip for €2000 when you can get €20,000 for it? Besides gamers only whine and can't even plug in power cables properly

 

[KingNosser]

That is exactly what Nvidia has decided, they can't even sell what they made fully and are drip feeding supply of 4090's so that the stock they have can just slowly sell.

Not surprising really, AMD make most of their money in the low and mid range.

Nvidia apparently have enough supply of Ada 102, 103 and 104 to last them another year without having to get big orders from TSMC so it's just good business sense to massively slow down production especially if your main profit maker are cards for the AI sector that sell for upwards of £20,000.
