Right, but I think what’s different on the GPU side is that the idea “nVidia make the best GPUs” has permiated through the whole market. And it’s true. Nothing touches a 4090.
A lot of buyers want to buy a 4090, can’t afford it and so move down the Nvidia product line until the reach one they can afford. They don’t consider other brands because “nVidia make the best GPUs” even if another brand might get them more bang for their buck now they are shopping lower in the product stack.
A halo product isn’t there to sell itself. It’s there to sell the rest of the range.
I think we do. My point boils down to AMD can’t compete with Nvidia at the moment, so trying to find different GPU niches to corner makes sense, while at the same time they keep investing in R&D.

Maybe we’re agreeing. I’m not sure.
