AMD: More Stock for Radeon RX 6800/ 6900 (XT) In Q1
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).

Hopefully this GPU shortage situation will get better but I think it's going to take more than one quarter or even the year.
I bought my 5700XT last spring as a stopgap, hoping to buy an even better card this winter (now). I also want to replace it so I can give it to my son, who wants something better for his Rift S. He's a had a really crappy year (Mom recently committed suicide as a topper to his shit year...) so I'm going to do something for him soon on the GPU front regardless of the expense, but it really aggravates me that PC gaming has become such an absurdly expensive hobby and there seems to be no end in sight.

So if they are to have GPUs to sell from AMD website, should they not be for msrp?
Hopefully this will be so and limited to one per purchase.

Sure, us customers who want to buy product are ticked off because we cannot find it unless you want to pay well over MSRP. But, if you are AMD this is some kind of dream come true. You have beat down your biggest competitor a bit, you cannot make product fast enough, and you have a number of large long term contracts for your chips. While we are pissed they are probably throwing parties where they make money angels. My point, they have no motivation to change any of that anytime soon.
It has been said before, but this is no dream come true for either Nvidia or AMD. This is a distressing situation where they can't produce enough to meet the demand. Units they can't sell because they haven't got anything to sell is 100% lost profit. Right now the shortage is too big. They can raise prices, but that pissess off the customers. Only Apple can raise prices without making customers angry.
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.
I certainly hope GF is reconsidering its choices. Time will tell.
The only reason why anyone could buy a new video card right now is because the prices are so artificially high that it stops the demand. From my point of view that's no different from no stock. I guess the shops are happy to maintain this for a little while, especially if they are still fulfilling some old orders. In the meantime, there could always be an occasional crazy person who would pay +40% for the card. The shops don't want to drop the prices as long as there's a danger of the supply running dry again and only scalpers profiting. Once warehouses are full of stuff, I guess the prices will drop as scalpers can't scalp anymore at that point. Unfortunately I don't think the prices will drop to the original levels because of other factors.

TSMC needs to cut Apples throat, they're the ones hogging all the resources @ TSMC
Apple isn't as important as the rest at this time, common sense again has passed them up.
