Great for AMD. It still feels like the most lucrative sales are in the $200-300 range, whoever gets wins here are going to have the best overall sales. If AMD or nVidia can do better than B580 for sub $300, that's where it will get interesting.

One would think there would normally be a boost in sales with a new product.
But really the guy sounds silly pretending there aren't supply issues everywhere due to AI.

Intel probably losing money on the B580, AMD and Nvidia will not compete at that price ever for that performance level.

I keep wondering if they could sell better if they actually allocated more cards to be sold by themselves instead of as prebuilts. As it is, the sale lotteries here only have a measly 10-20 cards per store at best and single digits at worst, yet I see the sales pages for prebuilt systems are never out of stock.

Sub $300 is bloodbath for AIB. if anything AIB want GPU maker to convince gamer that used to pay less than $300 for GPU to migrate towards $300-$500 price range.

I don't think intel intend to sell lots of those B580/570 either. As of right now they are still hardly available.

 

[PiersPlowman]

No surprise. GPUs are hardly in abundance here, and as for the Steam Deck, it is as rare as hen's teeth.

All this has nothing to do with protecting the domestic console makers, of course.

AMD isn't used to selling [so many] graphics cards."

Not much of an achievement when AMD's gaming revenue was so bad in 2024 that they have eliminated the gaming segment and combined it with the client segment so they can hide the numbers in the fog of war and not report how bad they are going forward. A 59% drop in one year is quite an achievement. Odd how Su didn't mentioning gaming at all in her financial summary for q4 of 2024.

Well the good thing about that is the consumer is still showing power here by buying XX060 class gpus anywhere from twofold over the next tier and an order of magnitude over $1000 class GPUs.

Isn't the greatest selling GPU of all time (4060) a $300 piece?
