It looks like availability of AMD's high-end GPUs has bettered itself somewhat; at least the average price of the 6800XT and 6900XT has dropped somewhat and not risen again to their previous price:

RTX card prices are still stable or rising, meaning if AMD would be able to increase production then AMD could beat NVidia simply by having more stock to sell. And considering that on the CPU side the Zen 3 CPUs are also mostly meeting demand now, AMD could put the bulk of the 80% production capacity increase into GPU chips for now.

You would think but I am willing to bet that majority of the capacity will go to Consoles instead and RDNA 2 for PC will still get a very small allocation. If anything, we will need to wait until the consoles are in stock or RDNA 3 for AMD PC cards to get a good increase in capacity. But here's hoping that's not the case. The sooner the stock comes back, the sooner PC gaming can go back to normal.

Sure, there's quite a bit of the capacity going into the consoles, but here it is also very dependent on the orders from the clients, here Microsoft and Sony. While their demand is not met yet, I don't think they will increase their orders by so much that they would gobble up much of the increased capacity, 20% of those 80% at most, but probably more like only 10%. With CPUs mostly meeting demand now, I'd say most of the new capacity can go into GPUs.
