tbh, at this point they're aimed at everyone willing to pay the price premium for the performance. the 9800x3d is actually just, better than the 9700x, straight up, even at stock. and with overclocking, even more better. I'm extremely disappointed we aren't getting dual x3d chiplets. There's actually zero downside anymore, apart from increased price. Like, tell me where I'm wrong, but I haven't seen a single benchmark where a stock 9700x beats a 9800x3d.

@@dariuszpys9307 well the clock differences won't be that big this time. But it still does give you basically no benefit to have two cache dies, while it does make the part more expensive.

[@Cognitoman]

@@haukikanneldo you think the 9950x3d will have the links worked out with the scheduler ? I just bought the 9800x3d, but would love to buy the new 9950x3d

[@haukionkannel]

⁠ Nobody knows. Have to wait reviews fjor that. 7950x3d was not too bad, but there was times when sheduler did chose wrong chip.

[@mkusanagi]

I've come to realize I listen to this news more than any other news. Thanks Steve

[@ertai222]

I just finished watching their live show.

[@kylepope8679]

I'm really looking forward to your review of the 9900x3d and 9950x3d. My computer usage is ~60/40 split between heavy Lightroom and photoshop(wedding galleries) and gaming. Coming from a 7900x, if there's gains to be found on both fronts, I'll likely pull the trigger.

[@thesusmongus]

are they chickening out on revealing the prices???? also, are they not revealing the gpus because they don't know how much they will be cooked by nvidia or what? this keynote was so weird..

[@my-tschischlak]

Im looking forward all benchmarks of the new announced stuff

[@devilmikey00]

I didn't watch the keynote. Probably thought saying AI 10,000 times in the space of 5 minutes was more important than mentioning a GPU people were interested in. Am I wrong?

[@v3rninate]

Steve, NEVER STOP being yourself, please....love it!

[@foxboi6309]

0:21 That white gpu close to the GN logo looks like a deadly weapon 😂

[@futuza]

Looking forward to the 9950X3D review, as I've been​ waiting a few years for that one, hope it's priced appropriately and they worked most kinks, but we'll see...

[@Cognitoman]

Yeah dude I want something that can do gaming and production work, I just bought a 9800x3d… but I know the 7950x3d had issues so didn’t get it, but if the the new 9950x3d is bettter and has kinks worked out I will get it

[@ProjectPhysX]

Nice, top end RDNA 4 is slower than RDNA 3. Good progress, AMD!

[@jordaniansniper934]

and no fsr 4.0 on 7900 xt/7900 xtx which have ai cores xD

[@Phil_529]

There is still lots of good things that can happen. FSR4 should be much better upscaling, improvements to hardware encoders, faster RT performance, proper Displayport 2.1 support rather than the slow one offered in RDNA3. Better price to performance overall. Lots of stuff to be excited about but they dropped the ball.

[@kevadu]

They said a while ago they weren't going to be targeting the high-end this gen so this shouldn't exactly be a surprise. Real question is the price...

[@Joostinonline]

I'm fine with them not competiting at the high end. What's far more important is matching Nvidia and Intel on things like upscaling and ray tracing. They've lacked what are essential features to many people.

[@kevinerbs2778]

​@@Joostinonline both are overated dog crap features. I know i have rtx 2080ti both RT & upscaling is never worth it.

[@greendro6410]

Nice to know what new things AMD is bringing 🙂

[@kylogreen7889]

So they skipped out on pricing for the processors and just skipped the whole gpu entirely… they gotta be waiting for Nvidia right?

[@Hugh_I]

They don't really have a good reason to be the first to announce their exact pricing and positioning. If they wait for Nvidia, they can avoid scrambling to adjust prices shortly after launch this time. And who knows, maybe they aren't quite ready yet and their PR folks finally learned a lesson from the 7000 release and decided to wait until they actually have reliable benchmark numbers rather than hopeful projections to tell people about.

[@TheWildBois]

AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

[@FreddRob99]

Wondering if AMD canceled the GPUs announcement after the reactions online, you literally gave more info than them. Thanks Steve

[@Fredofthedead]

Hi Steve. I thought the event with der8auer was very cool. Thank you for your help. Kind regards! Fred.

[@felinor693]

AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity

[@Hugh_I]

they do that a lot. But what opportunity exactly did they miss here?

[@docbrody]

Thank you for the excellent recap.

[@masterluckyluke]

AMD trying to look like NVidia GPUs with its naming is pretty ridiculous. Somehow sad.

[@DaffyD42]

At this point i think amd and nvidia belong to the same group. Same branding, each of them having a very specific market... mmmm

[@Armand79th]

I've already got myself the Legion Go with the Z1 Extreme, so I'm looking forward to buying the Legion Go 2 with the Z2 Extreme. 😎👍

[@Time4House]

AMD never misses a chance to miss a chance.

[@antibob72]

I know GN doesn't really test laptops but I would love to see you guys tackle Strix Halo

[@mannydcbianco]

AMD just told the world that they have no confidence at all in their RDNA4 lineup. So little that they didn't even want to mention it during in the launch event.

[@Hugh_I]

No, they only told the world that they aren't actually ready to launch these cards yet and that they rather focus on AI crap than to spend their keynote time with a sparse content-less teasers about something they are going to properly release at a later time anyways.

[@koenmarijsse1655]

Thanks Steve for the official 9070 announcement :)

[@LARANEASTCOST]

I guess amd's gpu can't even compete with Nvidia's last gen gpus

[@Hugh_I]

that's hardly a big surprise if they aren't even trying to compete on perf with this gen. But you can't really say yet if they can compete - obviously not in the high end, which again, they aren't even trying, but if they price it right they surely can be very competative. And given the ludicrous prices Jensen seems to be going for, that shouldn't be that hard.

[@brandonjones6780]

I had to scroll down through two dozen CES AMd videos to get to the most important one, your take! I can’t stand Linus’ attitude and videos no matter how many of the top spots they take. Glad I found yours.

[@Silver_Joystix]

AMD is a second tier company with a second tier approach to business.

[@Jasx_501]

Excited to see how the new Z2 line performs compared to Z1.

[@PoRRasturvaT]

That GPU alignment chart doesn't look good for us. They said they weren't going to compete on the higher end, ok But they don't intend to compete with the 5070 Ti (4080 level)... so Nvidia will once again be free to charge absurd amounts.

[@YTisProMentalillness]

Nvidia charges absurd amounts because you dumbasses pay absurd amounts to get green.

[@sirab3ee198]

How many people have the money for a RTX4080 or 7900 XTX? Competing in the $500 $400 range its much better, also I guess they are waiting for Nvidia to show their price and cards before giving any details.
