Why rdna? Cdna based crypto gpu would make much more sense!
Cdna architecture has a lot more calculation power than rdna has...

Miners like to sell GPUs to gamers for even more $$$ after they're done mining, which isn't at all unusual from a group that leeches energy and contributes nothing in return. So I'm sceptical how a GPU that those leechers can't get rid of afterwards will manage to do well.

Awesome. Now AMD begin to slip into the same outhouse hole. Again.

For those who stuck inside tank. "Mining GPUs" are utter nonsense. They does not prevent mining on normal GPUs. And any software limitations in drivers are easy to skip by using older drivers for example. In result miners grab all available GPUs again leaving nothing for the rest, except empty stock and overblown GPU prices.

Normal gpu's can atleast be reused, while mining spesific gpus goes to the landfill when they are not profitable anymore.
