Because their best GPU this gen doesn't beat the 7900xt? All they would be doing is announcing a price cut. Then the stores would have to drop prices on 7000 series for couple of months until the new GPUs actually launch.

What about FSR 4, Improved RT and improved price point. It would be a standard release. Doing it like this has no benefit, other than making their fans/potential customers angry.

The downside now is that nvidia have just watched that too and given NV card pricing can be announced the very same hour of launch, they now know that AMD have nothing for months, so can price the 5080 at whatever they want and take a massive lead.

Yeah were done in terms of Nvidia pricing now. Maybe that was the intention all along, so AMD's 10% less strategy has margins and keeps the status quo.

Go about what? They are not announcing the prices because the probably don't intend to launch until end of Q1. They don't have anything worth getting exited about. It's essentially a refresh with a bit of fsr4at a lower price.

IMO You just wouldn't mention or tease new GPU releases right before a big show just to bait and switch.

Set expectations by saying at least a week before "Hey guys we know your excited about the future of our GPU's but we have nothing to show right now, but look forward to future developments in the summer" etc. Not getting your board partners and yourself to start leaking marketing materials/sneak peaks everywhere or hyping youtubers and so to your customers on the morning of your event.

not unreasonable given the 5090 is reported to have a board power draw of 575w alone, those power spikes could be as high as mid 750w, only for a split second but enough to overload a good few many psu's out on the market, we'll see soon enough :)

Modern PSUs (ATX3) account for spikes so that shouldnt be an issue. 1200w is my PSU, but I only game with it and even then I'll be applying an undervolt + overclock so shouldnt be a worry.
