*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

Haha, here was me thinking I was cracking up too! Next Friday can't come soon enough I think!

This has made my decision to stick with my mba as I love the rdna3 designs and was hoping for rdna4 at a good price and mba. Now that isn’t the case I’ll stick until UDNA. (Please don’t hate me if I do pick up a msrp 9070xt AIB though!)

Does the fact that there are no MBAs mean there won’t be an iron-clad floor for the msrp? Allowing aibs to price theirs $100-200 (or more!) above?

That's very likely what will happen. AIBs will run roughshod over RRP.

As for the MBA not being sold, not a huge loss. The ref version for AMD has been the worst model card for the past two gens. The 7900xtx mba ran significantly hotter than all other AIB cards, and then there was the vapor chamber filling fiasco.

I guess its horses for courses. Some dig the mba and some don’t.

We will never know now would be nice to have the option

I think £600 is a good price for that, its £200 less than the 5070 Ti, or to put it another way the 5070 Ti would be 33% more expensive.

Yes it is. And looking again at the reviews for the 5070ti any half decent AIB is actually more like 900. I just hope the good AIB cards are not north of 750. I will pay that for 20% less performance than a 5070 ti if I can have a nitro or power devil card.

A few years ago, there were a few articles and posts from insiders about nV and AMD thinking about doing away with MSRP altogether. The thought was MSRP was becoming irrelevant once supply-demand took over, and would allow more versatility to nV and AMD to raise or lower BOM over the lifecycle of a chip. I wonder if that's what we'll see here.

Fair enough. But what changed since these two posts which you gave a like?

Which is the reason why AMD won’t be successful with such a monopoly that Nvidia commands.

The only way the 9070 series will disrupt the market and make people switch is ridiculously stupidly low prices vs Nvidia ie £399 for 9070 and £499 for the 9070XT which AMD marketing will never allow to happen.

Staggering to think no one wanted a half price 4070ti in the 7800xt……

AMD have a lot of marketing and goodwill (with price of 9070XT-needs to be max £399) to start to win back mindshare.

You went from agreeing about £399 to £499 and now £600 :cry:

My point has always been AMD should just price them as low as they can bare to get market share without making a loss. They are no longer a company in debt etc that needs to watch out. Bring the competition and stop waiting for nvidia and giving us 50-100 discount. That won't work! :(

Got carried away on the hype train and pushed my budget out to £599. Now even that seems “cheap” vs Nvidia.

I mean sure, if you want to never be able to buy a GPU ever again... ;)

No otherwise what's the point of this article just being released now

To capitalise on the hype and thirst for any info at all on the 9070 series. Fake a benchmark screenshot, repost old/forgotten news... easy clicks. These news websites don't care, they're just making the most out of the situation.

The fake MSRP nonsense is only really a fear after the recent 5000 series launch. for most of the 7000 series lifetime, the reference model wasn't the cheapest of the options. Perhaps initially at launch they may have been, but they've been tricky to find mostly since then. I've usually seen XFX or Sapphire AIB cards be the cheapest options recently.
