Why is Amd not announcing anything

nvidia now has a full array of next gen cards out and also announced a game console while Amd just sits around quiet. Nvidia is dominating game and pc news lately while their competitor says and does nothing.

With the announcement of the shield today would be a good day for Amd to take back some of the attention and give us something pertaining to the 380/390.
 
Given the apparently lukewarm reception given to nVidia's big thing, an AMD announcement would be the perfect way to bury that bad news. Hence they're holding back :p

Or indeed it could just be relating to their conference being on Friday!

Well here is hoping they actually announce something of worth like new GPU's. Now is the time to bury all of this NVIDIA talk. Otherwise AMD is in a world of hurt with NVIDIA taking over everything
 
Doubt AMD are quaking in their boots over the Nvidia announcement, if anything they are probably in fits of hysterics.

People have tried to break into the console market and failed, i dont see anything different happening either.

Valve have half a chance as they have the steam platform and if they can convert products across they are on to a winner.

Doubt we will get any solid 390X info from GDC though.

AMD have spent to long worrying about what Nvidia are doing, they need to look at their own product range and try and get back some market share. Which hopefully the 390X will be a beast and cheap.

I totally agree here. NVIDIA is just leaving them in the dust right now with market share and are barraging the customer base with their products.

AMD would be wise to gain back some of that as soon as possible. A GPU release date announcement with specs could help accomplish that.
 
AMD hand in hand with Oculus?
Mantle evolving into Vulkan?

The first alone is a much more positive thing than NV's "future of gaming"

Only they already have two of them out there, the PS4 and Xbox 1, they have literally cornered the market (hardware wise).

+1

Nvidia must be kicking themselves, 20 million PS4's sold already that is a lot of chips for AMD to sell.

Wii U (Graphics chip), Xbox One, PS4 all have AMD chips. They don't need to launch their own console..

This is Nvidia's attempt at trying to enter that same console market but retain all of the profit, not just making the hardware but making money on the eco system as well. Latest consoles move to X86 (Finally) and Nvidia go to android!? Purely to make as much profit as possible.

Shield console just looks meh to me but it might do well with the Nvidia devotes. I imagine Gregster and Lambchop have already preordered. Kaap's probably going to buy 4 and will attempt to SLI them.

Perhaps they simply have nothing to announce? Maybe the 390 spinouts aren't work well and need further revisions. The cut in R&D will also ensure they simply have less projects and products to talk about. Their Mantle project failed so they don't want to make too much of a song and dance about that.
