AMD Plans Aggressive Price Competition with Radeon RX 9000 Series

[systemBuilder]

I guess their idea of agressive isn't as agressive as mine.

Did you realize that the 9070xt is a 4080-class card? It will beat the 4080 by 3% in raster and match the 4070ti in raytracing, crushing the 7900xtx.

It costs $101 more to make than the 7800xt. The pricing is VERY aggressive, on that incremental $120 of price AMD earns only $19. Its easy to put the chip sizes into a wafer cost calculator to compare 7800xt (the parent of 9070xt) and 9070xt. The chip sizes are in tech power up, n5, n4 wafers cost $18k, $20k, i assume $20 in power circuitry & cooling, and AIB and retailer margins are 12% and 5% respectively. I use industry standard 70% yields at the start of production for the 9070xt and 95% yields at the end of production for the 7800 XT.

People expecting $500 or $550 are greedy emo's (HUB on YouTube).

You should seriously consider buying at these rock bottom prices - you may not realize it but AMD is doing handsprings to deliver such a low price, its something NVidia just cant do - their chips aren't as efficient!

People refuse to realize that AMD is gaining on NVidia, but they really are. If you can find a $600 card then that is an actual 33% discount vs the $900 actual price of the 5070ti.

N5 is actually $16000 per wafer and $20k would be n3 pricing. N4C is also cost-optimized.

I also don't think it's aggressive enough pricing and should be $550 max IMO. Would really like to know how you got your numbers, by the way.

It looks like Bryan from Tech Yes City has leaked performance of the RX 9070 XT in his RTX 5070 review video at 1440p

Looks like I might have found my new card because it seem prices here where I am located in EU will be lower than the RX 7900 XTX but a little higher than RX 7900 XT.
