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

It’s shocking the demand for these cards. Somehow I don’t feel msrp will come till end of year or next.
Pent up demand combined with high costs, apparent lack of supply and worries over missing ROPs in the competitor products will do that.

[edit] and driver issues, as mentioned immediately above - I'd forgotten that bit. [/edit]

Yes that's the elephant in the room.
Exactly. Sadly gamers are effectively offered what's left after other products have been prioritised above dGPU dies. Not that I'm suggesting that AMD have *no* interest in gaming, they do still produce GPUs, more that the strategic decision to produce a "7" class dGPU as the top of the line this generation was likely made taking into account silicon allocation pressures.

What lack of supply? No other industry is facing the same issues. No other parts are facing the same issue.

Apple just dropped the price on the new M4 MacBook airs from previous generation.

GPUs aren't magically separate from this materials, supply, manufacturing and distribution as other parts.

It's AMD and aib and retailers scalping

NVidia have been accused of a paper launch with relatively few units available for purchase.

Both AMD and NVidia have more profitable uses for their finite wafer allocation.

What other companies do is irrelevant, this is about AMD and Nvidia having a finite wafer allocation. They have to decide to allocate that finite resource to create the most profit. News flash… it ain’t GPUs.
