Is there a release time known?
Yeah only because people don't have any other choice.... Good price and "sod it I don't have a choice if I want a GPU I'll have to pay it" are two different things.

Too many people don't see the third option that most people have - don't buy a new GPU just yet.

You hit the nail on the head.

Can you imagine when Nvidia launched Ampere,and everyone laughed at them being on the inferior Samsung 8NM process,and AMD being on 7NM would win?

Looks like Nvidia again turned a "misstep" into gold. AMD managed to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It seems like AMD cares more about supplying OEMs,semi-custom,etc than retail parts sales. After all they have just committed to comsole number 3!

It's performance is also held back by another 5% for those who are not running PCIe gen 4.0 since it only runs in x8 mode and I'd imagine most people looking to get this card aren't.

I'm running Intel UHD630 and have been for the past year and a bit. I don't have a choice..............
Play 2D games!
I have plenty of games in my backlog which works fine without much GPU grunt some of them aren't even that old.
Or since you've already waited over year you could risk waiting longer as prices have recently slowly gone down

Absolutely this, I'm using the Intel® HD Graphics 3000 from a 2500K that's over 10-years old and I'm currently playing Raid: Shadow Legends without any issues, over 56 million people play it world wide everyday on phone or PC.

Choplifter HD is also another good 2D game that plays well on basic onboard graphics >> https://store.steampowered.com/app/202070/Choplifter_HD/

Jagged Alliance 2 (cheap on gog) and Warzone 2100 (free) are excellent titles that pretty much any iGPU can play. Some of 20th century's finest refined further by the community.
