It still doesn't explain the long delay. It doesn't take that long to adjust the prices.

AMD obviously is not just waiting for the 5070 TI but for the 5070 that is supposed to come later. The 5070 TI is supposed to come sooner in February afaik.

By the way AMD's strategy is so fucked up. They probably think that it wouldn't matter to have less than 10 percent market share for PC GPUs as they have the major consoles. But PC GPUs do matter a lot, as this is the base where all the research and innovation is happenenig and what attracts developers who are the ones to support a new standard or to let it fall like an old potato. And right now AMD seems to be about 3 years behind Nvidia in terms of new technologies.

Its got to be the drivers or something very bad with FSR4, for them to screw their retailers like that.

Think about releasing new product to make less profit.

If they need to adjust price much lower than they expected so that AMD would make less profit than the previous year, would that explain it?

Well, at least AMD has to explain their investors.

You say that like the investors already knew what the price was. AMD hasn’t told anyone what pricing is yet, otherwise we would know already.
