NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs waiting in warehouses since August
"I've been speaking with a few industry sources of mine, with one of them well-connected in Taiwan saying that NVIDIA has been stockpiling GeForce RTX 4090, GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and GeForce RTX 4080 12GB graphics cards since August"
Another one claiming 4080 16GB and 4080 12GB... I don't like where this is going cause I get the feeling Nvidia will price 4080 12GB at $700, 4080 16GB at $1000, and 4090 somewhere between $1500-$2000. That way, they could potentially price the 3080 Ti at $500 and go down the stack. AMD could of course, really ruin Nvidia's day by pricing their GPUs more appropriately but I think AMD will follow Nvidia's lead when it comes to placing their GPUs in the performance tier. But we will see.

Of course on the other hand, they could price it more appropriately due to market conditions where 4080 12GB could cost $500, 4080 16GB $700 and 4090 $1500. If they do that, while the naming will be confusing, least we aren't getting fucked on the price.
Intel Kills Pentium & Celeron Brand, Replaces It With Simple “Intel Processor” Branding For 2023 CPU Lineup
Idk if I like this move because it will make it more confusing for those who are not aware. Calling them Pentium or Celeron was important cause we would know where they would be in the stack pretty easily.

Intel Arc A770 GPU can hit 2.7 GHz clock in Hitman 3 when optimized

Does the clock speed even matter if it can't keep up with a 3060 Ti?
