It's ok guys, I heard Radeon office in Markham ON Canada, is going to send the TSMC water for priority dips on chips

LMAO. We do have way more water than we need.

Here's hoping they also kill mining capabilities on their RDNA-class GPUs the same way NVIDIA is. Then just push miners towards CDNA instead.

They are successfully crippling mining already.

Unlikely.
Look at this:

Look at those FLOPS values.
The 770 isn't even that fast of a card, but it has 6x the power of a 4770K CPU.
GPUs are just way faster at doing simple tasks than CPUs.

yeah...and who is talking about cpu's? I mean dedicated purpose based mining hardware, not some graphics card that happens to be able to do some mining as well.

This is good news, finally everyone can game again, and at a very cheap and reasonable price.

Nvidia will have no chance once these bad boys flood the market.

I think you mean ASIC machines. Those have been out for many many many years.

I'm not putting my hopes up at this point. That price is very low for what we have currently. To have the proper stock, I have no idea how many of these must be ready for shipment in March. tens of millions probably.

I indeed do, and do know that, soooo why are those not being mass produced and sold, why are gpu's bought up like crazy?

They are being mass produced. ASIC machines cant run on some coins, GPUs are runned on the other types of coins.

Wasn't one of the design goals of Etherium to be that it would be impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to make an ASIC for them? It's all part of the currency's design to isolate it from mining shortcuts in the market IIRC.
