I call "high demand" BS. There is very little supply, not high demand, because this is pretty much a paper-launch before end of 2024 to avoid a lawsuit. I'm sure MLID will discuss retail availability soon in one of his videos, if he hasn't done so already.

Some tech sites have said that the retailers they checked with didn't get any or got very low amounts.

But will the AIB cards also hit with street prices at $249? B580 looses steam pretty quickly towards the $299 mark IMO.

A lot of retailers probably did acquire minimal or no stock as they wanted to see what the day 1 reviews and public reception looked like considering what happened with Alchemist and not taking a risk on a product when shelves and warehouses are full of stock for products that they are confident have relatively quick turn-over.

Those of us that want a 1440p card at a reasonable price.

I have been real pleased with my a770, and am really looking forward to getting my B580.

Demand is so high it's affected AMD's and nVidia's pricing structure literally 0.00%!

I'm loving the new ultra 9 285 CPU. It's the fastest available for my creative workflow and with just minor changes to the interconnect speed and memory speed, not even touching the core clocks, it gets 20% to 35% better performance on games vs the stock settings. It's better than what AMD has available at this time.
So in answer to your question, people that want better performance at lower power usage are buying Intel.
