It was either sell them or have nothing to sell in that range of the gpu market which would have set alarm bells ringing, somehow i doubt they didn't make anything on them. Thankfully those days are gone.

If it doesn't matter if they're out or not from the GPU business (at least as dedicated cards), why would AMD feel the pain? Just sell for minimum profit. Thing is... from how the acted in the past, even if the 7900xt would be a couple of hundred dollars to make, they would still sell it for $6-$700.
Anyway, if they don't want to make money from the GPU business, good thing they've bought ATI back in the day to bring it down

That was $239 MSRP. They kinda need to do that again.

The X86 side of the business is selling everything they make, they cannot make enough of it, if they made more it would sell out too.
With that in mind the sort of GPU prices you're talking about anything on the X86 side makes more profit, and if they are having to sell 3X as many GPU's at £500 than they would at $900 to make up the difference they are also taking that much capacity away from the more profitable X86 Business which they already want and need more of.
ATI was on the brink of going bust.

If they sell easily what they make, why the lower prices?

I would argue right now the RX 6650XT is it, the only thing i can say is idiotic reviewers spend far too much time on AMD's failings to even notice the good things right in front of their eyes and Nvidia's mindshare with RTX and DLSS is now impeachable, plus tech tubers fear them.

I miss read that ^^^^ probably because they still want to stick it to Intel, AMD's job right now is still to cut Intel's size down...

Yes. Struggling to see where the 7800xt will fit in here. I may still bag a 7900xtx in a years time if prices drop considerably but really now thinking to just sit on my 6800, especially as I am only 1440pAMD releases new slides to promote rdna2 to buyers focused on value
The slide also happens to show AMD admitting rdna3 is only 29% faster than rdna3, those 50-70% claims have disappeared
Ordered myself a steam deck for the meantime.

The fact that AMD released these slide with RDNA2 on them suggests to me at least that for now and perhaps for 2023 this is what we have.
When you consider that Nvidia are now charging more for less performance, the 4080 is 52% faster than the MSRP 3080 for 72% more money... and the 3080 hanging around the £800 mark again, the 6800XT at least is not an unreasonable price at £600.

There was a rumour floating around a few tech sites a day or 2 back that any refreshes for rdna 3 had been cancelled, so maybe this is it for the rdna 3 line-up if true. Though as usual likely to be bs.
AMD Allegedly Cancels its RDNA 3 Refresh Initially Planned as a Fix for uArch Flaws with 3GHz+ Clocks [Report] | Hardware Times
At the architectural reveal, AMD promised SKUs with stock boost clocks exceeding 3GHz and performance-per-watt improvement of 50% or more. Unfortunately, neither of these promises was met.

AMD might have cancelled its plans for an RDNA 3 and 7900 XTX refresh
RDNA3+ has been rumored to 'fix' performance and efficiency issues with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. New reports are saying that the refresh isn't happening.

I would not be surprised if this really is it, i'm not going to go through it all again but the 7800XT as we understand it is at best the same performance as a 6800XT, we already have one of those, lets just stick with it. Its a good card.
AMD may fix the problems in RDNA3 and retape them for the 2024 product line.

It's all stock dependant though.
Can't see stock levels for 6800XT being healthy, I mean where's the 6800's,.
Again I'm stuck on a 2 year old GPU (An RX6800) with very limited options without paying through the nose.

Just make more, maybe give them a bit of a spruce up, faster memory, a clock bump..

The steam deck is awesome.
Plays all your PC games, I would say its an essential purchase if you have a hefty steam library.
Seems it can be used for remote play for both my pc and ps5 so win win. Just sold my switch as didn't want to pay £80 for new joy cons. With the emulation features of the deck as well it looks like some serious bit of kit. Perfect for my weeks snowboarding end of Feb.

It can emulate (Almost) everything, Dreamcast emu is perfect and my favorite at the moment, Gamecube is almost perfect. Plenty of good emu setup guides on utube.
When you are playing the Daytona arcade game from 1994 on a handheld that is only using a few watts to run you realise how far things have come.
I have not tried remote play yet, didnt know you could use it for PS5 as well.
If you are going to be away from a power source I would recommend a battery pack for backup as the internal one wont last long when playing the newer games. Only downside of the deck as far as I can see.
