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

[GoogalyMoogaly]

I'm not sure how releasing, potentially a month, after Nvidia's planned release is going to help get market-share away from people that were probably planning to buy Nvidia anyway.
Sure there are the red team buyer that would wait until September for a card half as good as the 5070 for 80% of the price and explain how they got the best best deal (would probably include the use of "fine wine"), but for people genuinely on the fence and those that think Nvidia makes graphics cards and AMD make CPUs this is unlikely to change their minds.
That said of course, a lot of people will probably be buying a few months down the line after they're both out so it won't bother them too much. I suppose by that time Nvidia might be getting their drivers optimised while AMD will be on day 1 drivers, which may affect how they compare in reviews.

Could you imagine (try really hard) if following this release team red supporters complained about how the reviews and reviewers were unfair towards AMD...

Bonkers. They had a chance to capture some 5070/ti customers and get some good momentum going.

Launching afterwards is going to be rough.

I was hoping for a 9070XT mic drop but I’m not waiting.

I wish AMD luck with these cards, but I have low expectations with regards to the launch as they always manage to botch it, be it launch date, availability, price. Some things never change, at times it seems like sabotage. lol

 

[GhostDog1981]

Why? I'll still wait and I don't want 12gb and not paying 5070ti price either

But silly to release after Nvidia will just get people to buy Nvidia

A lot of chatter in the chat on the said articles’ host site about people getting fed up with all parts and hoping to build in Jan/Feb now wanting to go Nvidia. They’ll lose a lot of sales and I don’t know if they properly thought this through…. Another Amazing Delay- A-M-D.

Knew this was going far to well for AMD lol

I've now got off the hype train at disappointed station.

FYI, this does not work dude

Still if people considering the 5070 should wait a few more weeks , my only choice is AMD I don't consider 5070 with it's 12gb at that price range

In all seriousness, of course AMD will still have time to sell these GPU's, but the month or two delay will have a disproportianate impact when measured over that two year period.
The launch window timing is critical as the market gears up for it, anticipates it and therefore you have a large amount of customers now eager to buy something new and literally their only choice will be to go Nvidia. It's hard to put a number on it, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who were either floating voters, or erring on the side of AMD are now going to be lost customers now. Given that this launch window was anticipated for a long time, people will have even sold their GPU's or had PC's built and ready for a GPU and are just not going to be so willing to wait much longer when the Nvidia option is on the table.

It's also just terrible P.R for AMD.

Judging by the 5700xt launching in May 2019 and 6800XT launching in Oct 2020- it might only be 12m before UDNA launch- if someone had waited this long with a tide over GPU they can wait another 12m perhaps to get better price/performance and likely full tensor cores on the new die.

5070ti for £750- 1 month of takeaway abstinence should make up the difference no?

 

[humbug]

Lost it

Well there we have it, 3 months after Nvidia when no one cares....

People can't wait forever and who is going to wait for another AMD hypetrain? Expect it to be delayed an additional 12 months.

 

[NZXT30]

AMD is currently getting slated in every internet platform imaginable, everywhere I look it's the same thing.

Right when the 9070 was building a bit of hype.

After all the rumours that were too terrible to believe came true maybe it's time to accept the most outlandish one, AMD is getting paid by Nvidia to keep Antitrust regulators at bay.

I’m kinda leaning towards Nvidia now for the 60 series (at least they launch cards!!?)

We keeping our 7800xts then bro? All honesty it’s a great card and overclocked match’s a GRE which is likely equivalent to a 9070 non XT. Realised I’d be upgrading for FOMO sake.

5070ti no Fe pretty sure it's gonna be £800+ and I wouldn't want cheap built aib , my budget is strictly £500-£600 and AMD is looking like the only option, but I know AMD probably pricing it £600-£650 ?

They are not the budget brand,don't you remember? Nvidia was nice enough to give them estimated performance figures and pricing too. Yet,apparently AMD is incapable of selling an RX7800XT replacement at under £500 with a sub 30% improvement. Apparently that would need revolutionary tactics!

Nvidia is just laughing now.

AMD will delay UDNA1 two years until the 70 series.

 

[humbug]

OMG

I'M DONE with AMD GPUs

AMD confirms Radeon RX 9070 series launching in March - VideoCardz.com

Radeon RX 9070 will launch in March Not in January, not in February but March. AMD has finally provided an update. The company, through David McAfee (VP & GM of Ryzen CPU and Radeon graphics), confirmed today that the new Radeon series will be released in March. This puts an end to speculation...

videocardz.com

Yeah, there are people who do want to support them and AMD make them wait 3 months, if AMD's strategy is 0% marketshare they are working hard at it.....

Yeah that's more than a bit of a fail.


"Another Month's Delay" works much better.

I will care because I ain't buying the 5070 lol

AMD might have got pressure from investors not to drop the price until performance of competitor can be assessed in the cold light of day. What else has made them delay when cards are in stores lol.
