I just read that article.

That's a fine example of how to make a click bait article, because all of it revolves around this small part:

Interestingly, yesterday a Microcenter branch in Overland Park Kansas revealed to a customer that they’re receiving a shipment of 100 RX 480 cards on the 28th of June. That’s more than 22 times the number of GTX 1080 cards the same branch had at launch, which was only four cards.

You simply can't extrapolate what happens in one store to a whole country... because VGC numbers come from more than one store per country, right?

Yeah, it's pretty clickbaity. I hope that AMD does have better supply though, Nvidia had pretty poor supply for 1070 and 1080, and it has already caused price spikes as a result.

I read on a forum, and posted by a journalist, that AMD would have 8,000 cards at launch in the U.S., all reference designs.

I have no idea if it's true or not, and I don't know if eight thousand cards are a lot or not, but I though it was worth sharing it.
