Its really quite interesting to see that all of these companies that make chips are having varying degrees of issues with making GPU's. Intel's arc was rumored to have some issue with its silicon, AMD's RDNA3 is this strange failure after RDNA2 shocked the world (and everyone thought they would easily build on that), and Nvidia, while successfully pulling off incredible generation to generation performance uplift with Lovelace, has Jensen telling people that the silicon for cutting edge graphics is going to be much more expensive from here on out. I'm wondering if its issues with trying to miniaturize their designs to 4nm and beyond, and if this recent issue with apple ties into the issue with sram not being able to really be miniaturized further using current industry knowledge.
At the moment the flagships are being matched by the 6950xt in some benchmarks. Hopefully the ‘fine wine’ effect kicks in and the 7900xtx gains on the 4090. The gpu market desperately needs that to happen.
