AMD Announces Keynote Dates for Zen 3 and Big Navi : Read more
From the sound of it, RTX 30-series cards will likely be in extremely short supply for months following their launch. So, most of those hoping to get a 30-series card within the next few months without paying a massive markup to resellers probably won't be able to. So, AMD probably isn't too concerned about losing sales due to their cards coming a mere month or two later. This also gives them the ability to gauge reception and availability of the 3070 and 3080 prior to determining final prices. With the RX 5000 series, they had to make a number of last-minute changes to pricing and performance due to Nvidia countering them with their SUPER cards, and they probably don't want a repeat of that. And even if RDNA2 cards might have potentially been first going into production months ago, AMD may not have been able to manufacture them at full capacity right away due to limited 7nm production, and their need to dedicate much of that to millions of console chips and CPUs.If they announce a release date past October 28th, they might as well throw away a couple million in sales.
Did you mean 3080 or 2080? because 2080 is really disappointing.October 28th announcement for big Navi. If they announce a release date past October 28th, they might as well throw away a couple million in sales. 2 months wait time is a hell of a wait after NVIDIA 30 series release info. People will get an itchy finger as backlog orders for new GPU's will be high. (I predict)
I want to wait to see what Big Navi can do. If it gets close to 2080 I'm sold if the price is right. But let's say I wait, and it's a disappointment. Then I'll likely have to wait 2+ months to get my hands on a NVIDIA 30 series PAST October 28th because supply will be tight. That's a 4+ month wait time and that's actually asking a lot of gamers who are shopping.
It leaves me perplexed as first silicon was available in March? What is AMD thinking with this long delay? AMD seems reactive more than proactive on these issues. The same thing happened with the RX480. The NVIDIA 10 series gained a lot of ground during that delay time.

RDNA 1 is more or less perf per watt like rtx 2000. I actually think more in the level of rtx 3080 with their 50% claims from their last slideshow.
lol yes it was look kind of weird .My bad, I meant 3080. I'll go back and correct it.

They've been pretty good the last 4 or 5 years, at least for all the games I've played.Well I hope they release good drivers.
There were a pretty big chunk of people that had issues with crashing and random black-screening in the beginning of this year, it even happened to me one time right after I finished my build in February. They've been fixed since then though, and I've been very happy with how my 5700 has been performing since then!They've been pretty good the last 4 or 5 years, at least for all the games I've played.
First thing first... You owe me an apology from the Tiger Lake Thread.Here is a proper ranking of the several manufacturing nodes based on half-pitch scaling of an equivalent (in transistor density) planar transistor node.
15. 32nm Intel
14. 28nm TSMC / 28nm UMC / 28nm Samsung/GlobalFoundries/IMB
13. 22nm Intel /22nm IBM
12. 20nm TSMC /20nm Samsung/20nm Intel (marketed as “22FFL)
11. 18nm TSMC (marketed as “16nm”) / 18nm Samsung/GF (marketed as “14nm”)
10. 17nm GF (marketed as “12nm” (12LP) by GF)
09. 16nm TSMC (marketed as “12nm” (12FFC) by TSMC)
08. 14nm Intel / 14nm Samsung (marketed as “10nm” by Samsung)
07. 13nm Samsung (marketed as “8nm” by Samsung)
06. 10nm TSMC (marketed as “7nm” (N7/N7P))/ 10nm Samsung (marketed as “7nm”)
05. 9nm Intel (marketed as “10nm”)/ 9nm TSMC (marketed as 7nm (N7+))
04. 6.7nm TSMC (marketed as “5nm”)
03. 6.4nm Intel (marketed as “7nm”)
02. 5nm TSMC (marketed as “3nm”)
01. 4.5nm Intel (marketed as “5nm”)
Samsung’s 8nm process is actually 13nm. TSMC’s 7nm process is 10nm. In any case AMD using TSMC's "7nm" has a near full node advantage against NVidia. But like versus Intel it won’t mean much other than probably power efficiency. The RX 6700XT Vs RTX 3080 battle will be similar to Ryzen 3900X versus Intel 10980XE and clocking both at 4.4GHz. The RTX 3080 will win by around 28-30%.
For the cpu side, AMD fanboys always crack me up with their hypocrisy and double standard. So they are excited for what exactly? I remember when they were also excited for 2nd gen Ryzen– which was like going from Skylake 6700K to Kabylake 7700K (which they chastised Intel for lack of innovation and referred to as “grass growing”). Now going from 3rd gen to 4th gen Ryzen is as “exciting” as moving from an Ivybridge 3770K to Haswell 4790K (funny how the names will also be in the same thousands). When it is AMD doing it is always “different” (that’s what fanboys will pop up to tell you) and of course the best thing ever...Pathetic
They will it just takes them a year to fix them if it's like last time.Well I hope they release good drivers.
