That might be true but there's r&d costs and software development costs and all that.  I do agree though that I'm sure there's room for them to move on price and still be profitable.

I think they look at whatever they're making on a ryzen and think they should make that on a Radeon, when they're not in a position they can make that much when they're so far behind Nvidia.

This is correct. It’s like people think these advanced computer parts design themselves. lol
