Hope not. Bear in mind you can't just run an AI algorithm and generate money. These are going be bought by companies hoping to train some kind of Unique model that other people are will to pay for, which is a much, MUCH more tenuous route to generating money.

AMD just keep squeezing the market for the 7800XT, first by reducing the price on the 7900XT & now the 7900 GRE (6950XT in effect) being $649 doesn't leave much room for their middle cards. I don't think the 7800XT will be much faster if at all faster than the 6800XT, <10% improvement.

There's plenty of room if they sell the 7800 XT for roughly the same price as the 6800 XT is sold now.

You say the word "AI"... and people dump lots of money into your stock.

This isn't about pump and dumps for investors.

This is about if there is going to be another mining type run on GPUs.

GPU were directly used to generate Ponzi coins, and sell them for money, leading to all the GPU mining madness.

You can't use GPUs to run AI busywork for money, so it less likely there will be a run on consumer GPUs for AI.

-Wait till we get Artificial Coin-telligence, it will be the scalping singularity.
 
The only time I watch Tom's stuff, is if he has on game devs, engineers, that kind of thing.

I skimmed through the transcript so you don't have to. Claims Nvidia is trickling out supply. That Nvidia is banking on A.I. and the door is wide open for AMD to take market share in gaming. But AMD doesn't want to outgrow capacity, take it from enterprise, or deal with logistical nightmares. That they would be happy with 35-40%. If they hit it out of the park on a future GPU maybe then they will shoot for 50% or more. Says if they drop launch prices on the upcoming cards 10% he thinks gamers are willing to turn to AMD for their next purchase.

His typical sources and speculation horse hockey.

He white knights AMD fairly hard in this one. Saying Nvidia managed to get an it's okay to be bad mindshare. AMD can't for whatever reason, so they would be the bad guy if they were number 1. The whole thing reads like fan fiction.

That is MLID in a nutshell. His stuff mostly seems to "reporting" all kinds of behind the scenes non-verifiable drama that is completely irrelevant and made up. Product decisions aren't some kind of big emotional drama, they are going to largely be decided by number crunchers with spreadsheets.

Overall that makes for a disappointing 7800XT, that will probably only perform similar to 6800XT. With 6800 XT having 20% more CUs (72 vs 60), 7800XT needs 20% gain from IPC and clockspeed, just to break even.

If that really is the 7800 XT, no wonder AMD wanted to clear 6800 XT before the 7800 XT that performs the same showed up.
 
Less than 2600MHz as anticipated. Not fixed in anyway? As for the price it'll be $500.
DOA but at least it isn't totally dead.
 
This the disappointment generation, they will charge $600. You should be grateful for a $50 reduction off the original 6800 XT MSRP. 😀
