Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

That's what people were saying about CPUs as well. "intel stagnation blablabla". Now that we have competition mainstream CPUs went from 330€ up to 800€. 2 companies does not competition make.
Bull,

Intel was charging nearly a 1k for a 10core part in 2017. 16 core was 1.7k

Now we have 10 + core CPU's starting from 450 from AMD and even less from Intel. Tell me how is that not due to competition ?

Yes it was terrible and Intel never discounted their older CPUs. Fast CPU power has never been so affordable, especially for gaming with the X3D chips.

And in 2005 we had 1 core for 1k$. Isn't it always the case that as technology progress,, we get more performance at the same price? Excluding of course the last 7 years that amd has been stagnating - sometimes you get less performance for the same money (3700x to 5600x for example :D ).

I bought a dual core for less than £200 in 2006, it wasn't from Intel.
 
In 2016 we had 8 cores for $900
In 2017 we had 8 cores for $500
In 2019 we had 16 cores for $750
In 2020 we had 16 cores again but a slight price hike to $800,
The competitor could only managed 10 cores
In 2021 they hit back with 8 + 8 half cores for $739
In 2022 Intel released an 8 core + 16 half cores for a very reasonable $589
Also in 2022 we had another 16 core for $699.

Right now you can get a 7950X for £590.
Or a 13900K for £570.

So now we have 16 cores, or 8 + 16 half cores for really not much more than 8 cores in 2017, a lot less than in 2016.
 
Well going back to the OP,I would say yes. If we ignore the pandemic,AMD had a competitive range upto the RX6900XT,is what made sure we had the RTX3080 10GB at nearly £600,the RTX3060 having 12GB of VRAM,RTX3090TI being launched,etc. It was the first time since the days of the Fury X that AMD had a full top to bottom launch. Now look what happens,when AMD has not launched its full top to bottom range,and the RX7900XTX is not really competing with the RTX4090? Nvidia trying another Turing move.

RDNA 2 was more competitive in terms of price/performance

3080 couldn't have been $1300 when 6800xt was $645. Likewise, if 7900xtx would have been $645, 4080 would have not remained at $1300.

Same for 4070ti vs 7900xt, 4070 vs 6800xt ( since AMD didn't bother to compete with newer cards).

So current Nvidia prices are thanks to AMD not competing and current AMD prices are due to their greed.

...or if Nvidia prices were lower AMD couldn't ask for more. If the 4080 was £700 how much would the 7900XT be?
