That guy is a moron.
Anyone catch Frank Azor's tweet replies this morning? All words or actual real talk? Something that's bugging me. It was assumed AMD may not have a good contender, but Frank's post alluded to AMD stockpiling cards to avoid the NVidia fiasco. Would that imply a hot item is in our midst, lads?
Well, if AMD has 20% market share AND the limitless, insatiable, nay infinite demand for the latest nvidia products is what is causing their supply woes - unless AMD has 20% of infinity ready I think they are screwed. /s
I never go on Twitter, but when I do it’s because I follow links here. I did read his latest comments about how there were listening to feedback, etc. Realistically, what could the they really do? Either the containers are essentially already at customs/domestic ports now allowing for delivery in the next four weeks or they are allocating more resources to air freight because they think there is blood in the water. Flipping 2080ti type consumers for at least a year with Big Navi would be quite a coup and worth a ton of advertising bucks in terms of influencers on forums like these. IDK what to read into that.
I would think that if they thought they would be more likely to be competitive in the lower price tiers there isn’t as much margin to go crazy...
Here’s to hoping they have cards worthy of the hype, and more than a handful of them to sell!
