While clearly missleading af, the value is still pretty good. Likely getting 4070 Ti/Super performance for $549. 9070 XT imo can't be anymore than $449 assuming the performance is around the same as 5070.

What was a big red flag for me in the presentation was that NVidia hasn't shown ANY chart that was Raster only, just RT and DLSS. I presume that the 5070 will only be slightly better than the 4070 Super in Raster and 4070Ti in Raytracing, and it's probably a similar story for the 5070Ti and 5080.

As such, I assume the performance of the 9070XT will be more comparable to the 5070Ti than the 5070 since it's supposed to replace the 7900XT, which means the 5070 will probably compete with the 9070 non-XT.

Dell chooses AMD over Intel in complete overhaul of business PCs

Truly one of the biggest news for AMD that has gone under the radar from CES.

Dell kills the XPS brand

Idk what is with companies killing their brand names but this is an awful decision as the XPS line imo was scene as the Macbooks of PCs so to speak. They aren't always perfect but the design of the XPS line has always showed what premium ultrabooks should stride to achieve. Their new naming scheme of "Dell, Dell Pro, Dell Max" is dumb af.

Dell goes one step forward and one backwards.
