They can just give us benchmarks at clocks they are confident in now. No one will complain if they deliver more performance at launch.

Given release date of PS5/XSX (Nov) it is entirely plausible AMD simply is under agreement not to upstage those launches too close to their date, also production of chips for consoles was busy and even if AMD could have launched RDNA2 in June they most likely would not have had production capacity to execute real launch.
 
My phone's default news feed linked me to this thread a couple of pages back; OcUK is officially news worthy.

I have an fi27g-p and I'm waiting for the bulk of a water-cooling loop in the post. I still need a CPU & GPU block (o11 dynamic XL).

Realistically though I'd imagine there are literally 0 console gamers who would be swayed into buying a £650+ graphics card as well as the rest of the setup for a gaming pc just because AMD release GPU benchmarks which are better than that of the new consoles so it will have no effect surely? On the other hand, any PC gamer who decides not to upgrade this cycle and buys a new console will still be in the market for a gpu at some point in the future so isn't a lost sale really.

I am sure a while ago AMD stated RDNA2 would be available on PC before on consoles.

*edit* Yep https://hexus.net/tech/news/graphic...ig-navi-graphics-cards-first-rdna-2-products/
 
There wont be many people sinking £500 on both a console then another £650 for a GPU in November, but there will be some truth to withholding info back due to all the NDA and embargo's.

I am sure it was mentioned that a dGPU was due to be launched before the consoles but that could be as little as one day rather than weeks ahead.
 
I'm sure AMD have their reasons for withholding info, and their bean-counters have already calculated how many people will buy Nvidia if they stick to this approach.
