Ya, I see the things you have to say in the abstract.
In the real world, nothing stated explains how this release will do better than Fiji did.
Nothing about Vega is impressive. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The apu talk is another just abstract theory with no concrete explanation as to how the product will be successful.
If people want to say wait for rx, then wait for the apu to come out before you claim its a relevant product.
Edit : also no one forced amd to mention Volta. They put that comparison put there themselves. All the back pedaling to "it just needs gtx 1080 performance at a 10% discount!".
The gtx 970 was torn apart for delivering no added performance in comparison to an old r9 290 yet this is OK?
The goalposts just get moved around and have no real meaning.
