This video is us talking about AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT pricing situation for its impending announcement on Friday, February 28, where it will more fully detail its RX 9070 series GPUs. The video is just us talking through opinions and market conditions as we try to better understand AMD's position right now. NVIDIA's RTX 50 launch was a disaster, with all of its cards -- the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti (so far) -- each having some sort of problem on its own. Intel has already launched its new architecture. That leaves AMD as the last one to launch this generation's new GPUs. 7-Piece E-Waste Inductor Dice Kit and Wooden Box: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/inductor-full-tabletop-mtg-dnd-premium-dice-set-7-piece-dice-wooden-box-token-card Snowflake the Cat Dice Set: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/snowflake-full-tabletop-mtg-dnd-premium-dice-set-7-piece-dice-wooden-box-cat-card LIMITED Honey Pot Foil T-Shirt: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/honey-pot-foil-tshirt-100pct-cotton-limited 3D Drink Coaster Pack: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/3d-coaster-pack-4-component-coasters Copper Plated Stainless Steel Mule Mugs with Thermal Conductivity: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-copper-plated-stainless-steel-mule-mug-thermal-conductivity-of-copper Like our content?

    As impressive as their “Ryzen moment” was, AMD still hasn’t gotten 50% of the market after half a decade.

    As much as I love AMD, they will follow Nvidia because they’re a follower. They unlaunched the 9070 at CES because they were unsure about Nvidia’s pricing. They changed their naming scheme to match Nvidia.

    They changed their laptop naming scheme to match Intel. They pushed their earnings release date back so they could report after Intel (Intel pushed their own back the previous quarter).

    You see, sometimes people say, “Why are you always trailing?” Well, we’re trailing because we’re following the [Total Available Market] of where the market is, and we’re letting them create some of this market because they are the only ones that really can when you have the kind of position that they have in the industry. We have to time it.
    We either have to give you less, somewhere else — so, compromises — or we’d have to raise the price points, which is something they are already doing. So why have two people do exactly the same thing, trying to build these leadership products out there? - Frank Azor, chief architect of gaming solutions and gaming marketing at AMD source

    AMD is content with being a second source supplier to Nvidia and Intel. After years of losses and near bankruptcy, AMD has finally figured out how to make a profit while being in second place. They’re in their comfort zone, and there’s no incentive for them to step out of it.
