Availability of the Radeon RX 6800 (XT) & 6900 XT Is Still Extremely Poor
We figured it's a nice time to check up on the stock availability of GPUs, in this round we turn back to the recently released Radeon RX 6800 (XT) & 6900 XT.
The product series has seen its launch back in November. Danish hardware retailer Proshop and Caseking from Germany last published informative and disappointing figures on the movement of goods on cards around two weeks ago. However, Proshop recently updated its overview on December 21st. It seems that nothing changed very much in terms of availability:

you make some excellent points, but please consider that custom orders (Sony, M$) have a separate queue that went into full production before zen 3 rdna 2 and is still in prod. at original TSMC's 7nm fab.
AMD anticipated that those would be volume sales in excess of the enthusiast market. the enthusiast products are being produced at the newer fabs (two) in Kaohsiung. the newer fabs are in production while the finishing construction is still going on (because of Covid) full production at the newest facilities is eyeballed for January. and then allow for shipping times.
It's not going to change until Sony and MS orders have been fulfilled...and there's literally millions waiting in line for them as well. As for Nvidia, their RTX3080 is just getting snapped-up before it's even considered for shipping. With all that's going on, I'm going to extend my own forecast for stock shortages until this time next year. It looks like the most obvious outcome right now. I'm expecting UK stock to be abysmal, especially now that we're dealing with Tier 4 etc.

They had the chance to give some capacity to PC parts when (qualcomm?) pulled out a few months back and some capacity was freed-up. Nope, they chose to make more PS5 instead. Shrug.
As a business decision, hey, it makes absolute sense. However, it also makes me feel like I'm 2nd class. Dunno about anyone else.

This continues to be disappointing news, especially when AMD boasted about stock beforehand. Is demand really that disproportionate? It might have been impossible for them to meet demand on TSMC between CPU sale increase in last 2 gens + lack of new Nvidia hardware on market, but this is beginning to take the piss.
