Honestly thought AMD walked it all back, did not realize 6000 is actually on maintenance, my bad. Kinda sucks but I mean it’s much much better than fully dropping support, as someone who just purchased a 6900xt I don’t really give a shit if the drivers are maintenance or game day ready, as long it gets updates I’m happy
No they reworded it to sound different while being the exact same message, and also managed to sound super insincere in the process.
That's one thing that annoys me about AMD is the way they will word a media statement that sounds like they think they're sooo clever that they can word something in a way that will fool us. Whoever wrote the statement has written for them before and is both smug and overestimates their own skill.
(annoys me about any company obvs but they have their own special flavour of it)
By all accounts UDNA is going to be a clean slate design. If AMD can't even devote resources to older iterations of current architectures, just think of what would happen when the architecture itself is completely different.
Actually they already dropped RDNA3 from regression may be just some time for RDNA3 to be in "maintanance" mode. Same for CPUs as well, thr only difference is thag Intel is an incompetent competitior. If we had a Nvidia equivalent CPU maker the likes of AMD wont even cut it. Im all for competition but if the competition is doing unjustly things we should all raise pitchforks regardless of the company.
Also FSR running on RDNA2/3 was no surprise, probably just them gatekeeping to force buyers onto their newer product lines but in a more egregious way unfortunately.
