Idk what's up with AMD. It's like everytime Nvidia pitches them a slow ball they go out of their way to miss. I love Nvidia stuff, I just wish someone could challenge them so that they pull their heads out of their asses. 

Feels a while lot like hardware is following the video ge trend. Nothing is done on release and gets "patched" after release. Yet they think they have ground to stand on asking over $1000 for flagship?

i only got into computers halfway through 2022 so i missed out on all of the past issues with launches from both sides but new gen everything seems half baked when it seemed AMD had a free pass to really take over a generation. am5 motherboards not having reasonable options under $250 for so long was crazy to me. i understand making a new socket for a new gen is something that happens eventually but considering how many people built pcs in 2020-2022 having such a steep price for making a new build seems wild. and releasing the 5800x3d on am4 at the same time knowing that it beat most of the 7000 cpus in gaming while not having any x3d 7000 cpus launch was wild. im probably still gonna build on am4 next just because the prices are so good right now. 

they also could have really blown a hole in the gpu market after nvidia decided to continue to use pandemic craze gpu prices at the exact same time crypto mining ended. if AMD cut prices for one generation and really made 7000 series gpus a good deal when so many people were mad at nvidia they could have gotten so many more dedicated customers. 

intel is the only company with any sort of long term thinking recently. releasing the 13th gen cpus on the same socket but also offering new boards with ddr5 while being priced reasonably. the 13600k is better than the 12700k in almost every scenario, and yet they kept the price for the 13600k almost the same as the 12600k. 

new generations just seem to be making more powerful and equally more expensive parts. nobodys making low end new gen stuff anymore. i want a cutting edge $450-$550 gpu. i dont want to have to choose between old tech or a $1200 gpu that I'll never fully utilize. not everyone cares about being able to have multiple 4k 36" ultrawide monitors all playing cyberpunk on ultra settings but these companies act like everyone is dying for ultra powerful super components.
