Can I state that this is in my opinion the best move to make. AMD can go and throw a crap tonnes of money for the title of slightly faster or almost as fast as Nvidia's 5090 TI Super, where both cards will retail $2000 and very few will buy them, or it makes a bang for buck, focusing on the $200-$500 market where most are waiting for basically a generational leap in performance to make the commitment to upgrade. The RX range like the 480-580 from AMD used to be the plan and even Intel has seen a gap in the market there.

The issue i think is that it reinforces the belief that Nvidia cards are faster and that AMD cards are cheap/budget,
AMD cards being just as fast (besides RT) with good/better value is one thing, but AMD being slower is a harder misconception to unravel
Do we have any reasonable/substantive speculation about why they canceled the bigger die in the 8000 series?
Presumably just cost and yield.
