I hope so - as the move away from monolithic GPU dies would improve yields, and ultimately (power & thermals permitting) allow for even more capable GPUs.
All this performance and availability (compared to NV anyway) makes me wonder if AMD really missed a trick not chasing the high end this time round with an unshackled 9080XT that could potentially have been a great success at £1k MSRP with 20-24GB VRAM and some judicious over clocking. What might have been I guess.
The problem is for each of those you could have had 2-3 9070 9070xt dies to put on cards and get market share back.

I seem to remember AMD saying something like "85% of gamers buy GPUs for less than $700" - the flip side being that 15% buy at more than $700 - which might be (plucking a number from the air) might be a third of the market by value. The silicon cost of those GPUs, along with the associated defect rate of larger dies, might make chasing that segment of the dGPU market quite expensive.
Nvidia just isn't in the market at the moment.
the 80-90% provider has basically not shown up because all their wafers are going to AI.
So even if AMD double their usual supply with Nvidia around half of AMDs levels as a rough guess that's only 30%-40% of the market's usual supply.

Enjoy - nothing worse than staring at the Nitro sitting in the corner of my room boxed up until I can do a rebuild!
I've deliberately put it behind me so I dont have to stare at it all day long whilst working!

I was going to say, that's a monster of a price jump!

Might as well get a Red Devil for that price of the gigabyte.

Maybe people are waiting for msrp again?
Chips are going to be scarce due to capacity at tsmc so I wonder if we will look back at these prices as if they were cheap?

One place had them at £780 over the weekend now lower. Best is about £680, available off and on. Another place using cashback site/gift cards, could net to £645 if they had stock.
I think the Gigabyte XT Gaming OC was somewhat priced wrong at launch. As it didn't have reference clocks, nor 2x8pin, nor missing 2x GPU phases, also has dual VBIOS that lower end cards don't.
W1zzard updated TPU reviews concerning VRAM phases, also today mosfet rating. I had seen not only in HWBusters the rating for mosfet differed but some other reviews of 9000 series.
It is a shame, our first batch was direct, so no middle man, this came via a UK disti which has added a chunk of additional cost.
