Well, looks like AMD has been fast in finding the culprit of this situation and to come up with a fix, and I'm sure MB makers will get the new BIOS as fast as they can. It's the best that could happen to AMD and those planning to buy one of their new CPUs.
Also good move from them to replace the damaged CPUs. We'll see if the MB vendors will accept all the damaged boards or if they come up with some caveats.
Nvidia gets what it deserves. They caused the problem and now they'll have to find a way to fix it. And we know that it will involve price cuts.
If the price of the top ROG Ally is true, and there's no reason to believe it isn't, then it's very competitive and will put the Deck in trouble.
I wouldn't put too much faith in the 7600 (the article has been updated to say that it't that card. no the XT variant) rumor. It comes from MLID and, while it aligns with what Igor said earlier this week that cards may be shown at Computex, that happens at the end of May, there are som odd details, like the card usinf more power than the current 6600 and 6600XT despite being on a more efficient node.
Also, Techpowerup has an artocle about this rumor, and when asked in the comments if they'll get a sample to review, they say that they haven't heard a thing from AMD.
So yeah, while it can be true, I'd remain a bit skeptical.
Oh! And it's a shame that Jedi Survivor has performance issues. It will surely impact its sales, at least on PC. What I don't understand is why the textures load slower in performance mode than in quality mode. Shoudln't it be the other way around?
