ohio_buckeye With the way some the nvidia prices are beginning to go, if AMD is able to keep things together and does in fact attempt to limit some of the price increases it could be an opportunity to grab market share. It may help that they’re using gddr6 instead of 7. Reply

It may help that they’re using gddr6 instead of 7. Grabbing market share doesn't mean anything if you aren't able to make the next gen of products to sell, and if you don't make any money on the current gen you won't have enough for the next one. We had a decade of AMD peddling the same gen of CPUs for this exact reason. Reply
SonoraTechnical Took some liberties with the headline for sure, "David McAfee, Vice President and General Manager of Ryzen and Radeon, told Gizmodo that the chipmaker aims to keep the price hikes within reasonable limits". That's not a promise (A vow) to fight… :sleep: Meanwhile in other AMD news… MOAR AI.. MOAR Reply
A Stoner I think AMD needs to actually manufacture more cards. Their cards were still short in supply while nVidia was able to bring several of theirs down to MSRP. They cannot capture market share when they are not supplying cards to do so. Reply

They cannot capture market share when they are not supplying cards to do so. Now that their focus is AI (indicated at the recent 'Consumer' electronics show) and will gobble worlds supply of RAM for that effort, there isn't a way for them to affordable increase manufacturing of video cards and simultaneously lower the price. Big Data win, Consumer loss. Reply
valthuer Let’s be honest—AMD ‘fighting for gamers’ is more of a PR spin than reality. With Nvidia dominating market share and both companies chasing AI data center revenue, consumer GPUs are almost an afterthought. That said, it’s still nice to see Radeon prices trying to avoid total insanity—but anyone expecting miracles should probably sit tight and wait for the next real shortage to blow over. Gamers might get moderate relief, but don’t kid yourself: the big money is elsewhere. Reply
