*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

Yeah it seems a few points go to this week for an announcement. If retailers have these units in stock they wont want them sitting there taking up space unless they get some sort of incentive for doing that. I am more amazed people working in the retailer side of it have not shared pictures but every day this gets harder to keep quiet.
I recall there's been various leaks, rumours and such suggesting boxes and suggesting that they have cards in stock. Else idk where these box pics come from?
This potential hiccup may screw over the consumer in the end, as frustrated retailers could just mark up the cards for more profit.


Load of rubbish. The articles uses MLID as the source and mentions the pricing was a suggestion. Since when does pricing speculation by a YTer become a 'rumour' worth doing an article on?
Even these websites are clutching at straws for news articles to get viewership. AMD's silence is letting news outlets get impatient and report on any old guff. Heck I swear one of these sites used OCUK's RX 9000 product page as news the other day.
 
What's more interesting to me is that AMD are months behind on previous payments to retailers so, quite rightly, retailers are loathe to offer up any more 'credit'.
If true that's really bad.


If it were true and has been going on for ages then why hasn't it made the "news" until now? Smells more like these sites are getting annoyed with amds silence and are firing out any old crap they can to get clicks.
 
Videocardz.

Nvidia need to drop their prices so AMD cards can be cheaper! :p

If true, not a good sign at all...

Would explain all these over-engineered, expense-looking AIB designs were seeing.

Agree... I feel like TweakTown used to be legit, but now they're just a trash rag. Did they get bought up and recycled into a clickbait farm like so many others? :(

Because it can actually be fairly common and companies aren't likely to call it out because:

1) Consumers probably don't care that much about these sorts of problems
2) It means AMD might not want to work with them in future

So unless it gets REALLY bad we likely won't hear much, think of the EKWB issues that were going on for ages before it became common knowledge/public

The timing is very convenient don't you think? And it just so happens to come at a time where official news from amd is thin on the ground and the click bait brigade are running on fumes. The stale stench of pish is very evident imo.
 
No idea, it has about as much validity as everything else that's been discussed in this 170 page thread :/
 
Well AMD went as far as match Nvidia's naming scheme, CES was a **** show regarding rdna 4. Still no confirmation from AMD of release date and price yet shops have them. So yes, AMD has gone away in a panic after seeing Nvidia cut prices. Now I think they will slot these just below the 5070 cards. 9070XT $650 9070 $499

Not worth it in the slightest but have the money and why not... but not the grown up adult sensible choice where as the 9070xt is.
Nvidia learned from releasing the two 4080s on release from last time and have just gave us the lower " 4080 " this time.

Whether or not AMD have decided on their prices or not, I'm sure that these types of (click-bait) articles are a useful way of gauging reaction to these figures. We all know that every company is trying to make as much money as possible, but I think that charging 499 and 599 is not going to lead to long-term success. The 7900 XT was regularly available in the 500's last year. The 9070 XT (one gen on with similar performance and less VRAM) needs to be cheaper. Especially after the awful launch of the 7900 XT + XTX and what is looking like a minimal upgrade to Nvidia's 70-class cards. 399 and 499 for the win (which means that they'll be around 50 quid more than that in reality).
