Riche Corpus, director of Radeon Technologies Group, confirmed that AMD expects to have more cards to have available this first quarter. The director also confirmed that AMD will continue to support its partners in the development of their custom designs.

In an interview with BabelTechReviews , Riche Corpus, who is the director of Radeon Technologies Group, confirmed that AMD now expects more additional benchmark Radeon RX 6900 XT / 6800 to arrive this first quarter. The director also confirmed that AMD will continue to support its partners in the development of their custom designs.

“Based on feedback from our AMD Radeon RX 6800 Series and Radeon RX 6900 XT Reference Design graphics cards, we are expanding production to make them available to as many gamers as possible on AMD.com . We will also continue to support our partners in the development of their custom AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics card designs, ”the executive said in an interview with babeltech.

Currently Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6900 XT are effectively out of stock, and if they are in stock, they sell well above the suggested retail price (MSRP).

"AMD you have had a massive big chance to change that nVidia started with the big mess and unavailable stock, but you have turned out even worse"

Yes they are so stupid, should have gathered more GFX cards from the trees where they are growing in a vacuum, not being affected by real world. Baad AMD
I think both companies knew exactly how this was going to play out.

Yeah the AMD GPU's show up in stock but cost way more than recommended for almost all of the current models then for NVIDIA the demand on the 3070 and 3080 means there's little to no stock since everything goes to fill ever increasing pre-orders a few 3070's show up now and again along with the 3090's which retains inventory due to the high price of these even compared to the new AMD card prices.

Curious what happened with the pricing it was bad at 150 - 200 Euro above reference now closing in on 400 above reference it's ridiculous, NVIDIA is stable so far but I suppose the retailers also can't easily shift the pricing when hundreds of cards are waiting on stock for existing placed orders at the launch price level whereas AMD had some reminder system short of getting the reference GPU's so the cost could be adjusted since there were no existing orders for these.

~ It's gotten better at least the 6800 is now under 900 Euro ha ha, ha ha ha.

The problem is also that their RDNA 2 architecture is also used in both Xbox Series X & PS5 which makes fewer chips available even if it is cut-down, it takes more time to manufacture also because third-party companies are working hard but with fewer people due to the pandemic.

Empty promises again.
AMD you have had a massive big chance to change that nVidia started with the big mess and unavailable stock, but you have turned out even worse!
And now again you have promised something that you cannot keep...!
But hell yeah you know what?If I can get a reference 6800XT or 6900XT at MSRP in Q1 then I will get one. It's never going to happen.

Why do you think Nvidia went for Samsung for GPU manufacturing? AMD remained at TSMC, which Nvidia abandoned this time because they couldn't get a sufficient quota for chips. TSMC has been working at full capacity for a while, so it's simply impossible to get more chips out from there (plus there are also other factors than the GPUs themselves). Now even governments are begging for TSMC to do something about it, but what TSMC basically can do is raise prices and apparently shift production order a bit if plausible, but that won't help gamers.

It has been a catastrophe for the market that GlobalFoundries suddenly decided to stop competing.

I've just recently heard that GlobalFoundries is working on it's own 3nm.

I really hope they can catch up at some point because TSMC cannot produce more than they are now.

AMD simply just shouldn't promise anything as they pretty much know what is going on at TSCM.

As I wrote that I would be more than happy to get an 6800XT or 6900XT from them if is priced around MSRP.
I'm affraid this is not going to happen anytime soon.
