But the bigger question I have is where is the rest of RDNA 3s lineup? All Radeon released is 7900XTX/XT and soon the 7600? From providing an alternative to Nvidia at every GPU class with RDNA 2, they seem to be only picking certain categories while continuing to produce RDNA 2 to fill in the gaps for the rest? I am not much of a power guy but there is something to be said for a mid range buyer to consider say a 6950XT which is a really big and power hungry GPU with triple 8 pin vs a small 4070 powered by a single 8 pin. If AMD would release a 7700XT with 16GB of Vram that is similar in power and size to a 4070 along with the benefits of RDNA 3, that would make the decisions better imo.

My guess is that AMD was forced to launch the 7900 GPUs way too early in an unfinished state to be able to compete with NVidia, hence all it's problems both in hardware and software and why there's something like an RDNA3+. So they are refining the chips while they still can (as in, while they still have RDNA2 GPUs of similar performance in stock) to iron out the problems and possibly gain an edge against NVidia while they can. 'm sure 7500/7700/7800 branded cards will also come at a later date but as long as they have the corresponding RDNA2 GPUs in stock, it's probably not in AMD's best interest to launch them too soon.
