Thank you for the more clear explanation. Makes sense.
Lisa Su should not have got involved personally though imo. Especially with the way this particular startup founder is acting publicly.
The last card I bought before this 7900xtx (hopefully legit) was a GTX 780 new. Then a OG Titan used.
The guy does not have the best background for any major corporations looking to work with him.
As a follow-up to the AMD/Tiny drama, George (Founder/CEO) now says that RDNA3 cards are out of their product solution due to the bugs they've encountered unless AMD opens up their firmware by the end of the week. Good luck with that, lol.

Founder George Hotz boldly gave AMD a deadline of the 'end of the week.'

Instead they'll move on to using Intel ARC (which he's already said are too slow) or NV RTX (which I'm pretty sure will get him a cease and desist letter from NV).
George seems like a really intelligent guy but also seems to thoroughly overestimate his own abilities and also fully embodies the Silicon Valley model of move fast and break things (and forget about any possible consequences). The problem is, that model is pretty much dead at this point (for good reason) and this is especially true once you get hardware involved and severely true when people's health is at risk (see Theranos). As a background, he founded a failed start up for a self-driving car technology company which sought to spread self driving functionality to all. He made a lot of progress, but once the rubber hit the road (literally and figuratively), it didn't go so well. After that venture didn't work out, he pivoted to Tiny Corp (with a very short stop at Twitter in between) with promises to revolutionize AI for the masses.
