What? He just literally said he doesn't give a **** and does not even play games. Lol

The issue is that sort of explains the delay and why the cards have these fancy coolers,large PCBs,triple 8 pin power connectors,etc. They look more like RX7900XTX cards.
AMD clearly wanted to sell these for more. These cards don't look like ones you would typically sell for £450 to £550,especially with the PSU connector requirements.
Remember Vega 56 with the special edition pricing? This is more of the same.
They were quite clearly telling porkies about the mainstream pricing! Mainstream pricing would be below £500,so why are they suddenly having to adjust pricing if the RTX5070 is £540 and above?
This is the same with the Zen5 CPUs. AMD probably had an inkling Arrow Lake was crap,so priced Zen5 highly too.
Edit!!
Remember the emergency BIOS for the RX5600XT? They panicked when the RTX2060 was dropped in price a small amount and released a new BIOS. Tried to sell it as a jebait,but the RX5600XT was priced too high.
I expect AMD is finding every avenue to jack the pricing up as high as possible. Two months is enough for an emergency BIOS!

In regards to complaining about BS click bait that's taken as fact.:thumbsup
Lol. So AMD could not have managed this any better yes? It is all the fault of the interwebz?
But it does matter. The way they are managing Radeon, their markets share keeps going in the wrong direction.

What would be quite funny is if Nvidia just announced that the 5070/5070Ti was delayed until April in a sort of "Your move AMD. We're selling our 5080 and 5090 so we can sit on these for a bit longer while we consider the prices."
I wonder how that would go down with the community?

Totally all rumours when:
1.)AMD pulled the CES announcement at the last minute
2.)Didn't tell the tech press they were doing this,who released official slides
3.)Tech press confounded on what was happening,because AMD said nothing
4.)AIB partners confounded as they were showing off cards at CES to the tech press
5.)Cards with huge coolers,PCBs,etc that look expensive
6.)AMD saying everything was going according to plan and they were targeting the mainstream
7.)AMD seemingly not wanting to talk about RDNA4 in any detail
8.)Retailers receiving stock with pictures of the boxes
9.)Some retailers showing orders/pre-orders for this week
10.)AMD now saying the launch is sometime in March despite retailers having stock
Totally normal dGPU launch there.
AMD totally reacting in a normal way.

Didn't happen. Doesn't have an impact on anything...

Well they should carry on then I suppose. Single digit market share here we come
Apparently AMD thinks mainstream owners use cards with over 300MM PCB lengths,triple slot coolers,triple 8 pin power connectors,etc. It should have been obvious the cards didn't look like cheap ones!
They were giving out interviews talking about targeting the mainsteam and the RDNA4 price would be between $300 to $1000:
AMD talks RDNA 4 advancements and RX 9070 series Pricing - OC3D
Frank Azor has started talking about AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPU pricing and performance. Expect a full deep dive at a later event.
So what is the problem then? Launch the RX9070 at £480 and the RX9070XT at £540,as these were the RRP prices for both the cards. Unless their definition of mainstream was going to be the RX9070 series above $600. It makes me wonder whether the $300 quote was the minimum pricing for the 128 bit Navi 44 dGPUs.

What a disaster, AMD completely bamboozled by a relatively boring NVIDIA lineup.
What were they expecting? The 5070 and 5070Ti from NVIDIA's own data are about 20% faster than the previous gen (plus/minus 5%), for about the same price (plus/minus $50). Totally run of the mill, standard, minimum price/performance increase.
NVIDIA couldn't be more boring if they tried, yet this was enough for AMD to effectively unlaunch their GPUs
. Surely they should have prepared for this possibility? If NVIDIA had done something crazy (+50%), I'd understand the panic, but this is just pathetic.
So AMD need to renegotiate with retailers/distributors/AIBs?

You are trying to put words in my mouth-twice now-even after quoting you specifically on what I said to @Gerard .:thumbsdown
Every single trolling/baiting that goes on in this thread by others is irrelevant to me, if I wanted to be dragged into all the hyperbole you and others thrive on, I'd be partaking mate, no?
I purchase my gpus on review data. then and only the then will I'll decide to keep the 79XTX/4070 and buy nothing for the first time ever since before 6800GT.
