With the 7900 XTX currently being around

$900 USD and
$1300 CAD...

at what price point do you think AMD will release their next gen flagship?

We'll have to wait ~ 2 years since the next round of AMD cards are rumoured to be midrange cards. The Steves are right that if A.I is still as profitable for both AMD and Nvidia by then, expect prices to go up for any flagship. It wouldn't make any business sense not to.

you have a good point

although I have to wonder if we'll have to wait 2 years:

if the next gpus are midrange and NVIDIA happens to launch their next flagship sooner than AMD, then AMD's confirming to take a loss in marketshare which would be pretty bad as they're currently being cornered/squeezed on both sides
Intel's launching their next gpus pretty soon and their performance gains from improved drivers has been pretty surprising/honestly pretty impressive as I personally didn't expect much from them on the gpu front

currently for:

budget gpus Intel seems like a good option
flagship gpus (power efficiency be dammed), NVIDIA is a no brainer
best Linux support (currently) AMD gpus are the go to

however for the vast majority of users, people will look for gpus with Windows in mind so in reality it might be just Intel and NVIDIA oddly enough

Intel's providing great budget friendly cards
NVIDIA's serving cash whales

Unfortunately I don't think AMD (& Nvidia) care about GPU gaming market share when they'll be selling all the MI accelerators they can make using the same wafers at much higher profit margins.

As consumers, we're going to have to get used to getting mediocre offerings at inflated prices until the AI hype dies down or they find a way to use some of the other manufacturing nodes to make competitive GPUs.

I like what the Arc division has been doing lately, especially with Linux support. I am looking forward to what battlemage can bring to the table.

Didn't we just get over the coin mining hype? I'm not too confident there won't be another big thing to keep this going...
