Like I said before, AMD had to delay the non-OEM version of those chips by a quarter to give themselves somme supply to fulfill their OEM contracts. Which is also why I expect the non-X versions of the 5900 and 5800 to not be OEM-exclusive forever. With the chip crunch, prices have really soared for some hardware, especially GPUs. That being said, can somebody explain me this???:
How can it be that the price of the RX580 exploded and the one of the 5700XT stayed mostly stable? And how justify the fact that the 580 is now ~$200 more expensive than the 5700XT?? |
Yes but Intel is managing to balance OEM and DIY just fine. There is no reason AMD can't balance it either seeing as how at the very least, their 6 and 8 core chips are now in stock and are very easy to find. Sure, they might release the 5900 and 5600 later on to DIY but imo, they should have released or announced them by now. Heck the funny thing is, AMD mentioned that their 5000 series APUs are coming to DIY later this year yet they didn't say anything about the 5900/5600. Like why not announce that as well? Regardless, I think the way they are treating DIY market where we have to pay a premium for X series until who knows when and now the APU situation is 110% nonsense.
And yea, the 5700XT and the 580 are really good mining cards which is for gamers is urghh worthy times.
