PC gamers are screwed because next-gen GPUs are apparently delayed forever. Rumors suggest Team Red plans on shipping RDNA 5 cards only once Team Green drops their RTX 60 series. Kepler_L2 claims this schedule ensures a massive waiting period before anyone sees fresh silicon.
Reports indicate AMD intends to use TSMC N3P nodes targeting a release deep into the future. That schedule implies a drought lasting over eight hundred days since the RX 9070 XT arrived. NVIDIA Rubin architecture faces a similarly long gap following the Blackwell debut.
Delays supposedly happen because Jensen Huang holds massive profit margins that allow aggressive price cuts. Launching a second prevents the market leader from instantly countering with cheaper flagship killers. Team Red supposedly wants to avoid getting crushed in the high-end bracket unless they possess a unique performance outlier.
Going second gives challengers a chance to undercut fixed retail pricing strategies that rarely adjust post-launch. Green cards typically stay expensive until a refresh hits. Waiting might be the only way for RDNA 5 to survive without getting obliterated via a sudden price war.
