Next 12 months for Radeon fans?

Over the next 12 months there won't be any Radeon fans left after what happened today.

Total dejection & just a completely poor showing by AMD. And I say that as someone who wasn't hyped at all about Navi, but I couldn't imagine them failing quite so badly. I just really couldn't believe they'd be even further behind than what they showed with Vega. It's insane. Nvidia is now 3 years ahead of AMD, at least.

The Radeon 7 is a gaming card, but the only way they could achieve that level of performance was be re-branding the professional product and then selling at a loss.

professional cards are usually much worse at gaming than gaming cards, that's the only surprising part

The Radeon 7 is the equivalent of strapping a lorry engine onto a skateboard. Yes it will go fast but it’s not really the way AMD would want to do it if they had any other options and naturally strapping a lorry engine onto a skateboard comes with all sorts of problems and compromises that doesn’t affect its ‘F1’ rival.
