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

That's preloading a bad review, he knows there is no way its going to be $300 less than its Nvidia competitor (in some instances half the price) he's setting unrealistic expectations because he doesn't want give it any positivity.

This petty bickering of his with AMD needs to stop.

I've only been watching HWU since the summer and I got that vibe myself, I wasn't sure if I was reading too much into it.

The problem is, if it's legit £50 cheaper than the 5070ti msrp, that actually means it's £150-200+ cheaper in reality. This is the problem, msrp means damn all especially with nvidia.

Also if nvidia doesn't have decent stock the 5070ti could reach over £1k on the scalpers market which would make AMDs £50 less price look much better as well.

£699 is too much but it could end up being the best card available on the market due lack of stock of anything else and people will buy it. I'm hoping it will be £649 at the very most

Sorry I should have said it like that, obviously MSRP means nothing even too AMD if retailers are also going to take part in scalping (like 9800X3D)

You're correct about thr 9800x3d but I don't think theirs a scalpers market for amd gpus and generally radeons come out at msrp and then 3 months later they do reductions

It's not $300 less , he is talking MSRP of both , my own take is it needs to be at max £600 for reference , what we actually get is another matter then we can debate again

As an neutral I don't see any bias for either might also wanna check out the hubs Nvidia reviews

What is the background of his displeasure?

I do agree with his stance on RT though

A couple of years ago AMD's CEO was in some sort of stage talk with the Microsoft CEO.... the Microsoft CEO said that he would never have a gaming PC because the XBox offers better value, to which AMD's CEO said "no its because you're cheap" it was funny.

Steve from Hardware Unboxed took offence to that, he reasoned that AMD's CEO was saying that gamers were too cheap to buy their stuff, with that he started spamming AMD's CEO personal Twitter account demanding she explain her self to him, he also said he had been sending her Email's making the same demands.

Ever since then AMD GPU's have never been good enough or cheap enough, and sometimes coming to those conclusions in a very obviously contrived way.

The WCCF benchmark, compute units 28? It has 64, I'm sure one of the new Strix APU's has 28 CU's.

One is 32 CU's the other 28.

These are the new Strix APU's, i'm sure of it, the 40 CU Strix Halo has just been launched, cutdown versions are on the way.

Its not the 9070 XT, IMO its not even a discrete GPU, someone fishing the Internet found those and assumed they are 9070 XT benchmarks, they aren't, they are Strix APU's.
