AMD takes a stab at NVIDIA "Stay safe this holiday season"
Sasa Marinkovic, the marketing director for AMD's gaming group, took to Twitter to criticise Nvidia. He sent a picture of a power connector for an AMD Radeon graphics card, which featured two 8-pin pegs. And he adds the words "Stay safe this holiday season" to the message.
And by that the traditional mud fight is back, we know he means the molten 12VHWPR adapters and connectors found on Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 GPUs. AMD has confirmed that the recently announced Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX will continue to use the existing peg power connector. While the corporation is currently looking into the issue, the green camp claims that the fault lies with the user. Overheating and melting could occur if the 12VHWPR plug was not inserted correctly.
We're not sure if this is the gentlemen's thing to do from AMD in terms of marketing. That roll of the dice always will bite you back in the toosh at one point in time.

I don't recall hearing about people melting their 8-pin connectors over the decades of its use.

If this is the only thing that they can throw at Nvidia....bad signs for actual reviews.

Not really they already came out that their GPUs compete with 4080. So what can they actually throw at Nvidia. They also are losing on the node so eh.
Only thing they have is price

They also are WHAT ? Only price ? 4nm vs 5nm is a losing battle ? Go fight the 12 pin power connector on another forum please
Amusing that everyone becomes a judge when the product is not even release nor tested....

I prefer 8-pin connectors. When the 12-pin is throughoutly tested (and improved) by customers, companies and the organization behind it alike, then I feel safe with it.
