AMD Explains Missing RDNA 4 Announcements At CES

[Hecate91]

It's through the roof. But it doesn't matter while AMD matches that instead of undercutting.

The nvidia pricing does matter because they control the market. And I doubt it would matter how much AMD could undercut because people would still buy from nvidia anyway, while AMD would take a loss on every card sold.

That's about as important as the graphics on the box it comes in. If it works, don't fix it.

It is important when the UI of the control panel has most things people will use unified into a single application. I take you've never used the Adrenalin control panel, it does work very well.

Someday it will dawn on you that, while AMD pretends those are useless features, they still implement them. Why would they do that, if there was virtually no demand?
The last time AMD innovated in the consumer GPU space was back when they introduced tessellation. And that was actually ATI.

Those features are there because, again nvidia controls the market, reviewers and nvidia buyers whine when AMD doesn't have a feature then still complain when it gets added because it isn't the nvidia proprietary feature.

Why would they take a hit? They would just sell these GPU without useless features that are smaller and thus cheaper to make. Add the usual margin, give the people the cards they want, profit.

Yeah because Nvidia's pricing is so competitive and their UI is up to date. Not everyone subscribes to the DLSS, RT narrative. People keep referencing Nvidia's dominance but then try to make AMD users seem foolish because they don't subscribe to Nvidia's features. The funny thing about it is that it is always the same users that are bashing AMD.

They must be doing something right, considered their market share is 90% and rising when AMD is only declining over time. Guess people are just, what was the word, "sheep".

Based on what? They said "maybe Q1" and admitted even then it may be a paper launch.

based on what every tech reporter who was there in person has said. Turns out these cards are already going out to reviewers, 21st is going to be the official announcement, then the reviews few days later and within 2 weeks the launch.

Yes and then there is the question that you never ask. How many 4090s did China buy in that same time frame?

Probably more than the entire supply of Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs combined. And another batch that is also larger than that entire supply went to Western gamers.

AMD should team up with Intel and use XeSS on Radeons and continue XeSS development together with Intel.
