1. I guess you are in the camp that thinks a 5800X3D is just as fast as a 7900X3D. There is also no comparison between a 7600 and 5600 but anyway.1. Arguably, yes. There have been no major breakthroughs in their CPUs since 3D V-Cache was introduced. All chips ever since have been incremental upgrades, and the next major leap since 2022's Zen 4 launch is pretty much the Zen 5 core scheduled for this year. In the meantime, Intel has developed a hybrid architecture processor with hardware-based thread scheduling, enhanced upon it, reheated it shamelessly with the "14th Gen" scam, and then moved onto a processor that unites those technologies with tile-based packaging and developed a neural co-processor for it, which is what you see in Meteor Lake.
2. Yes. They've discontinued less than 5 year old GPUs recently (such as the Radeon VII) and heavily prioritize features for latest-generation cards. Most of these features may eventually reach older cards, but they certainly were never a priority. Reminder that le ebil nGreedia still supports the GTX 900 series from 2014.
3. Yes, this has happened in the past with the X370 chipset, the elaborate lie surrounding BIOS ROM capacity, and the TRX40 chipset that was aborted mid-way and never received a Zen 3 Threadripper upgrade, leaving people with expensive workstations that never received a CPU upgrade and on a previous-generation architecture.
4. Yes, the 6500 XT launched in an unfortunate market situation and it commanded a relatively high price, and it was one of the most pathetic GPU launches in history (perhaps just not as bad as the GTX 1630). It also has several limitations that not even the 1630 has, such as the complete absence of a hardware encoder and a hard limit of two display outputs (hardware limitation, you will never see any Navi 24 design with more than two display outs).
5. AMD has historically released several China-specific SKUs and has openly licensed its processor IP to Chinese technology companies, going as far as investing itself in joint ventures in order to keep it "by the books" (see: Hygon Dhyana). Not exactly a clean sheet if you want to bring that conversation up.
6. No, AMD does not listen to the community.
2. Radeon 7, really. How many months was that on the market. I should tell you my story where Nvidia disabled features on my card.
3. I love this one. X370 was said by AMD that most of the BIOS files were too small. You should be glad that community pressure made them get a fix for that. They did not stop giving us Threadripper. Do you enjoy the modern media, well that was a real market for Threadripper and AMD made AM4 faster than Threadripper anyway. Don't worry I still have my X399 board.
4. Relatively high price because reviewers that make their money making videos complained about it. I know I paid $219 for mine and at that time 6600 was $650, much less a 6800XT for $1400 and 6900XT for $1500. What was crazy was all of the media reviews were the exact opposite for users who bought the card.Though in a world where you have a 120hz TV Freesync. You can enable it with a 6500XT. Yes the full 45-120 HZ that TV support. That translates to smooth Gaming vs 60Hz
5. All of that was before the US banned them but you can go on. Most Governments were for Chinese 5G until they were not.
6. AMD did not have to release Vcache to their 12 and 16 core CPUs. The community lamented, chastised and demanded that. AMD tried to give us 2 Vcache but it was not a tangible benefit. I guess when your Game crashes and that message comes up that AMD does nothing with that. I guess when people complained about boot times for AM5 AMD did nothing. I bet AMD gave us Hyper RX to help make Gaming worse. I guess the 8700G is not what we have been asking for but anyhow, you are entitled to your opinion.
