News Radeon RX 7600 GPUs Fall Below $250 Ahead of RTX 4060 Launch

[Admin]

AMD cut the Radeon RX 7600 price from $299 to $269 ahead of launch, and as the RTX 4060 launch nears, we are now seeing cards from $249.

RX7600 meets the price almost everyone agreed it should have launched at one month after the fact.

Wonder if AMD sold enough to make the bad publicity for the extra $20 that lasted only a month worth it.

3050 has dropped spectacularly too in a few days.

I used to work at one of those retailers, and I know for a fact they never sold products at a loss. The retailers, board partners and AMD/Nvidia have much larger profit margins on these products than people realize. The GPU market is a duopoly without competition.

Say what you will, but x60 cards shall be sold for about $200, not $250 and certainly not $300. $350 was x70 territory. Unless you want me to buy a console and forget about this pricing fiasco entirely.

As Nvidia and AMD's profit margins rose from ~15% to their current 40-60%, AIB's profit margins went down from 20-25% to 5% or worse now. It is a miracle that AIBs haven't all gone down the EVGA route.

TSMC 7nm wafer cost $10.000
TSMC 5nm wafer cost $16.000 but with 1.8x transistor density

so making 6nm GPU OR multi chiplet 6nm MCD + 5nm GCD is pointless, since 60% price up but 80% more transistor density so cheaper price per transistor. Also power reduction and higher clockspeed benefit.

What AMD must Do is Bonding L3 cache with 7nm TSV SRAM on TOP of 5nm analog GCD's area (not HOT LOGIC area) or bigger infinity gen3 cache will boost FPS due to Ray Tracing and FSR2.0 RDNA3 weakness. because cache/SRAM area in 4nm / 5nm will use very LARGE area and makes so damn much COST. I hope next gen RDNA 4 will Boost Ray Tracing and FXR....

They already do that: the cache chip sits on top of the on-die L2/L3. AMD cannot really put the Vcache chip anywhere else since it is a simple extension to the on-die L3 and needs direct access to tie into the L3 bus.
