Seems that AMD's GPU division wants to join Intel in releasing products at absolute joke of a price point. The 6700 XT is priced like a 3070 but it's similar to a 3060 Ti in Raster performance and slower in Ray Tracing. Apparently even AMD's own internal testing showed this according to AMD themselves so they 110% knew.



If you have the choice, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole and instead get the 3060 Ti or 3070

Either TSMC's 7nm and GDDR6 are more expensive than we think, or AMD has really lost its mind with these new cards.

By the way, here's the review roundup of this new card: https://videocardz.com/106755/amd-radeon-rx-6700-xt-review-roundup

Yea, at the beginning of the gen, I was thinking that going Samsung was a mistake but after all the gpus came out, Samsung was certainly the better choice for Nvidia. TSMC stopped giving Volume discounts to their partners and Samsung was cheaper from the beginning even before TSMC stopped giving discounts. Then on top of that, TSMC has a lot more customers competing for allocation vs Samsung doesn't have nearly as many.

AMD still made the correct choice by going TSMC due to how their architecture is. It's just that Nvidia's architecture is able to rectify Samsung's process node deficiencies while being able to produce more gpus at a lower price.
