AMD’s FLIPPING The Script!

[@Kmcornell23]

No, Nvidia isn't worried about AMD because Nvidia has everyone convinced that they're the best, in spite of AMD having more VRAM and better performance per dollar across the board. People are sheep and Nvidia is the shepherd.

[@Hey1234Hey]

AMD is absolute utter garbage in everything else besides gaming. That's it. Only gaming. It doesn't have any support for Vray and many other softwares run A LOT slower and are full of bugs. Blender is so bad on amd gpu it's asinine, people that use an amd gpu for blender workloads should be banished to hell. If you use an AMD gpu in your PC then you might as well just call it a gaming console. There's a reason why AMD is barely making a dent in the gpu market, in fact it has decline really hard in market share. AMD is just gaming console card. Nvidia runs everything smoothly and it's not even close. It's not that people are brainwashed. AMD is just dogshit at everything besides gaming and people are aware of that. That's why Nvidia sells better.

[@mattk6827]

Amd has more than 24gb vram on the gaming gpu's? Maybe just your little secret. Nvidia's not worried because they couldn't top the 3090, barely kept up with the 4080 and threw in the towel for the next release. Just flat gave up.

Assume that you pay .28 per kwh (that might even be cheap for California) and you average 6 hours of use per day. You would spend about 123.00 to power just that cpu for 1 year. Imagine owning that cpu for 3 years, over the run of its life, thats 369.00 bucks to power that cpu. Cut that number in half, because thats basically what a 9000 series cpu is doing for you for equal performance. That couple hundred dollar premium instead seems like more value. It just depends on how much you use it, how much you pay for energy, and how quick youre planning on replacing it. Theres value to be found here. Now for equal perfor

All these console gamers playing with vsync also dont complain, which adds about 50ms.

Having ROCM supported on everything, that's an important move. Also needs to be done under Linux, but I'm pretty sure that's happening. The main thing they need, is a set of tools to take CUDA code and convert it to ROCM code. They already have some, but it still requires a bit of human programmer intervention. They need to keep polishing and homing that tool-set. There's an enormous amount of CUDA code out there, and you can't just load that code into ROCM. It needs to 'ported' or changed a bit and recompiled. Possibly related, the Linux AMD video driver is getting huge, from auto-generated header files. They're talking about how to deal with that. At a guess, some of those massive headers have to do with supporting ROCM on multiple different GPUs. I don't know that, I'm guessing, but Phoronix is talking about huge AMD video driver code in the kernel, and an awful lot of that is simply auto-generated header files.

Manufacturers do not lose money on console sales, plain and simple. This is a long running myth made almost exclusively from the manufacturers themselves. There is nothing material to conclude that manufacturers take a loss on selling consoles since there is no reason to believe that individual buyers would make up the perceived difference in cost to produce consoles by buying software considering that software publishers also keep talking about the cost of developing software to sell. It's legitimate to assume a console buyer could just as easily use a console to play free-to-play games and software utilities without any further transactions or revenue going to manufacturers as opposed to any other buying habit. Manufacturers have to make money where they can, as soon as they can to show to investors their stability and growth within a market. Selling consoles under the cost to produce reflects negatively on that effort.

[@TheLordNugget]

I'm sorry, but when I see an entire chart that shows that there's only a single game that gets pissy about the GDDR6 vs GDDR6X memory, I just think even more that people get pissy about the dumbest things. Is it slower memory? Technically, yes. Does it amount to anything outside the margin of error? No. The majority of those games saw a loss of no more than 1 fps. Then there was the few with a loss of a ghastly 2 fps, and yet fewer with a soul crushing loss of 3 fps. I get it, fps is everything. There is a point though where you just accept that you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Hell, in the one game at 1080p the GDDR6 model beat the GDDR6X model. It's such a minor difference that the "better" one performed slightly worse in a game. When the margin of error overcomes the supposed performance loss, you know that it's stupid to keep harping on about it.

[@TheLordNugget]

For those who want to bitch about the price, it's a catch 22. The performance difference doesn't warrant more than a $5-20 difference. Is that really enough to satiate your lunacy? I'd be willing to bet it's insufficient. A price reduction of anything above that is stupid from NVidia's point of view. It's basically the same exact performance. It doesn't warrant anything more than what I stated. We can all agree that NVidia overprices their shit all the time. That doesn't mean that performance drops that require an extreme level of anal retentiveness to care about warrant significant reductions in price. A reduction of $20 or less would be seen as dumb by the company simply because the random sale would beat it in an instant. Edit: My best guess for the 6 being more expensive than the 6X is demand vs availability. The 6X is likely sold out. Cheaper means nothing when it's not available. Basic concepts of supply and demand. Getting upset that NVidia is doing literally the same thing anybody and everybody else does is also very stupid. Does it look good for NVidia? No. Does NVidia care? No, they made trillions off of AI. Why TF would they care if you're upset that the market allowed for a technically slower gpu to be sold for more money?

At first I thought you said Siberia

[@finger00]

Yeah they flipped the script, 7800x3d went from ~$370. to $600. in a few days lol I hope Intel makes a comeback, AMD needs a reality check.

[@LaurenceBlunt]

I wonder if the price hike is due to "supply & demand". Noone with any clue to building (assembling) a PC should be looking at Intel's 13/14 gen chips. That goes double for professional workstations as long before the chip has fried itself and starts crashing, it is also likely to have been producing errors in your data for weeks/months before hand. I put together a new PC for my sister two weeks back, she is not a gamer and I didn't even suggest a dedicated GPU. I built the new system with a Ryzen 7600(no-X). The supplier asked me to write a review yesterday and I just happened to look at the current pricing while doing it. They have no 7600X in stock just a 'pre-order' button in place, but the 7600's are not only out of stock but they are not currently taking any pre-orders. It makes me wonder if the 9000's were priced high just to flush out the stock of 7000's, some of them like the 7900X is currently £10 cheaper than the 7900(non-X). In a way that actually makes more sense as the 7900 comes with an AMD heat-sink, the X version is just the chip so it costs less to manufacture and ship. Even without buying a bigger/better heat sink the 7900 can reach speeds so close to the X version you could not tell without bechmarking them. I built my latest PC with a 7900 back in June (assuming the 9000's would be more expensive with the non-X versions being at least another 6 months behind), Setting the PBO to 85C with -20mv has this CPU running at 120W max and all core speed of 4.5+GHz for hours running two handbrake jobs at once. The peak speed is 5.2GHz as I have not changed to max limit, I am also using the AMD Wraith Prism that it came with. I am very happy with this system, I can now process Blue-ray movies as fast as my old Ryzen 2700 could do DVD's. With Blue-ray's costing from nothing to only a few pennies more than the DVD's I will likely buy more than I used to. There's still the down side of using 2-3 times the disk space so TV boxsets will remain DVD (I'm in the UK and our PAL DVD's are a bit better then the NTSC versions, as they have a 20% higher line count. 576 vs 480). I do play a lot of games on this PC but my GPU is a RX6700XT that I purchased a year before, so that GPU has gone from waiting for the 2700, to being the bottleneck. I only game at 1080 and don't play any online twitch shooters, mainly as I got bored with that back in the early 2000's playing LAN matches, but secondly even back then at ~40 my reactions were getting noticeably slower than the 20-30 year olds. Now at 60+ usually with a beer close at hand I'd be waisting my time :)

[@GreyDeathVaccine]

who raised prices? AMD or greedy sellers?

[@finger00]

@@GreyDeathVaccine Since the price went up across multiple vendors I'd suspect the msrp was raised by AMD since there is no competition at the moment.

[@Denroe-fd4hx]

its clearly being raised so that when the 9800x3d is finally on market its msrp will most likely be over the $500 usa price bracket it wont be in the price range of the $400 ish 7800x3d , they deliberated raised the price on from $320 ish to over $400 just for this reason in my opion so the 9000 x3d wwont be losing out sales to the 7000 series x3d stuff when the 9000x3d is released at higher prices

[@punk_floyd_8123]

i really hate microcenter 😡 mainly because of the 7600x3d and the fact i live in the UK 😭😂

Today on AMD copium channel: Nvidia is bad!

[@96kylar]

Dude needs to talk to Ricky Bobby,.. he has zero idea what to do with his hands. AMD WON !!!... dude, no one wants to contract console shit. No one but amd. What a W. Good thing this dude doesn't run any business with more than him and his cat relying on a week to week pay check.

[@KanoTransformations]

"But...."

[@ctjmaughs]

Nvidia buying any Intel fabs?

[@slawoose2798]

Nvidia is not a monopoly

[@FranciscoLopes_Bthere]

There are not enough laptop makers with amd apus and there are only 2 diferent models. As for Intel new apus every laptop maker has more than one model. Nvidea hardware has way more performance than AMD the only way AMD will get market share is if nvidia struggles to meet demands and customers don't want to wait.

[@noobgamer4709]

It's partly AMD fault. Intel do have engineer to help OEM design laptop and such for them. This is the reason AMD with strix Halo only have few design but lunarlake have over 80.

[@siveric32]

In Serbia, really? The Little Russia? Sorry AMD but that is a highly controversial decision ....

[@genx156]

But this 4070 is new NEW = BETTER so cost more 🤣🤣 Obviously they are scamming older people & those that know nothing about Graphics cards - Shameful 😱😱
