Did I miss something, when did GPUs with 16 GB of fast VRAM become obsolete? This is fine, it's not the first time AMD has released a Radeon built of top tier silicon scaled back. Cards like the HD 5830, the elusive UA/RU-only 6930, 7870 XT, etc. Nvidia does the same, perhaps the supremely egregious example of this exact same practice: the almighty RTX 4090! Yes, that's right, the AD102 used in the 4090 has 12.5% of its SMs and 25% of its cache disabled.
The purpose behind this is to sell poorly binned chips to a budget conscious Chinese market. That's all it's intended for.
