AMD RDNA 3 “Radeon RX 7000” GPUs Allegedly Hit Almost 4 GHz Clock Speeds, Refined Adaptive Power-Management & Next-Gen Infinity Cache Confirmed

https://wccftech.com/amd-rdna-3-radeon-rx-7000-4-ghz-cpu-clock-rumor-refined-adaptive-power-mode-next-gen-infinity-cache-confirmed/

AMD: 4 GHz 12000 Cores, Twice as fast as last gen
NVIDIA: 3 GHz, 18000 Cores, Twice as fast as last gen
Meanwhile at Intel: Best I can do is delay

I have to say that I find that 4GHz figure hard to believe. It feels like one of those too good to be true rumors.

EVGA pulls the plug with a loud bang, but it has been stewing for a long time | Editorial

Shameful attitude of EVGA with their antics to get good reviews. That always ends leaking to the public and put you not only in shame, but also as a company that you can't trust, at least in my book.

At the same time, I find it confusing that their warranty policies, some of the better out there from what I read these days (but I could be wrong), are listed as a problem. You have to take care of your consumers, and if you do it well they'll come back. To me it's an investment, not just a cost.

Finally, I've worked in business that operated by the 1/3 rule so seeing how EVGA only managed to get a 5% margin and the "best" did get up to 10% baffles me. In most sectors, that 10% wouldn't even be enough to keep it running.

AMD Ryzen 7000 series now listed in Spain, 7950X for 852 EUR

As usual, take it with a grain of salt

As a Spaniard, I have to admit that I had never heard about that store, but some of the current CPU prices listed seemed to low to be true and I did a quick search: there are lots of threads in different forums complaining about them because of its consumer support and for recieving "new" parts in opened boxes.

I don't know if those prices are real, it's very unusual to get a direct 1:1 conversion with the added tax on it, or if they're just placeholders to get some attention.
