AMD Zen 6 rumours

AMD reportedly plans another Radeon GPU price increase in November - VideoCardz.com
AMD reportedly plans another GPU and GDDR6 memory kit price increase in November after raising supply costs in October. Radeon retail prices have already risen by up to 17% in one month.

Why is it only Nvidia GPU's that are up so much? I know there is the Nvidia tax, but it can't just be that, I know it's "supply" as dies are being diverted to pro cards for AI + ram, but AMD have pro AI stuff as well don't they? Same with ram, but the effect is not as bad, up, but not as much as Nvidia.

9070XTs are now £800 so it’s not just Nvidia that have been hiked.

At this rate PC gaming will only be for the wealthy before long. I didn't think the 9070/9070XT were worth the price they launched at let alone the prices that they are now and don't get me started on Nvidias joke prices, £750+ for a 12Gb 5070!!
A few reasons. Rubin supply is very limited, the Chinese would rather mod desktop Blackwell cards for use in AI and Nvidia is rapidly becoming an AI firm.
Nearly 1/6th of a 5090, just let that sink in.
HUBs new video shows they have all gone up. Nvidia specifically though? They're more in demand for AI stuff vs AMD's offering so perhaps they make consumer stuff more expensive as they really don't need the consumer market at all whereas AMD do a bit more (?)
The 5090 is an outlier though as it’s the only current gen card with more than 16gb vram which means it’s useful for AI workloads.
AMD aren’t as heavily invested in AI as Nvidia just Nvidia isn’t in CPUs. The two product stacks are very different.
It’s not the only card with more than 16gb, but 32gb isn’t that useful for AI. The 5090 isn’t the only outlier on price either.

We dont really know, and it obviously depends on what you're using them for.
Trickery to say. The IPC jump looks substantial but there’s also 50% more chip. Maybe double the performance of a 9800X3D?
