TBH I love Adored. Out of all of the trumpet blowers he is by far the most humble.
He's not really strictly saying it is definite in that video. That's not how I see it. He is just saying that on the node and etc? it is possible.
And then of course even if it were possible the elephant in the room is a £1600 price tag. Because that is what the XTX avoids.
All that said? it doesn't matter. To me this gen is just laying the ground work for Navi to become modular, and that in time will only improve ten fold. Once they start meshing smaller dies together for the main die is when the prices can tumble and they can really stick it to Nvidia like they did with Intel on their CPUs. Intel just could not compete, and in a way still can't when it comes to the cost of manufacturing.
Yeah, I love watching his videos. He's quite enigmatic, and clearly puts a lot of effort into his research and scripts.
RedGamingTech is humble and modest as well. He seems like a nice guy. But 90% of his videos only need to be two minutes long yet are regularly fifteen. He waffles sooooo much. And I can't stand how he never stops saying 'interesting'. He'll quote a source, call it interesting, then say that the new architecture is going to be interesting, then finish the sentence by saying that it's going to be interesting to see how it turns out. In one sentence he's said interesting three times.
And yeah, I didn't get the vibe that Adored was saying for certain what will happen. He said at the end that if we start to see rumours of another GPU in the works that isn't a smaller chip, his prediction could be true.
£1600 for a GPU that's 30% faster than a 4090 at the same power draw is pretty stellar in my opinion. It's still terrible value, but halo products always are and always will be. I've stopped fussing over it.
Did you watch Coretek's video on the RDNA3 announcements? He was mad that RDNA3 wasn't two compute dies 'glued' together.
I don't think AMD will charge less than what they're charging now if they can get dual compute dies working as one. I think if they have a better product than Nvidia, they'll undercut them, but by just enough to make a killing. Maybe they'll try and pull a 1080Ti and sell a 5090 competitor for $800, but I doubt it. I imagine if RDNA4 comes out with something ground-breaking, it'll be expensive even if it's cheap to manufacture. Why would AMD charge less than they need to when they'll sell everything they can produce?
