Sapphire To Release Vapor-X edition for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX & XT
Sapphire has revealed in a teaser that it will relaunch the "Vapor-X" graphics card series, which is cooled with the help of an evaporator chamber ("Vapor-Chamber") for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT. That's a return of the series after an absence of more than six years.
After a sabbatical of more than six years, the Vapor-X series—famous for its high-end custom designs and having debuted in 2008 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Vapor-X—is making a comeback with the Radeon RX 7000 series, which utilises the same cooler with Vapor Chamber Technology ("VCT") as the Atomic and Toxic models.
I had to look it up, but the Sapphire Radeon R9 390X Vapor-X was the last in the Vapor-X series, although the Toxic series with AiO water cooler was also represented in the Radeon RX 6900 XT (test). The Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, as well as manufacturers' custom designs based on the RDNA 3 architecture, could change that on December 13.

Review: Sapphire Radeon RX 6400 Pulse (4GB) - 09/08/2022 01:38 PM
Meet AMD's Radeon RX 6400. It has 4GB of 64-bit RAM and a whiff of Inifinity Cache (16MB L3). This card might operate at Radeon RX 480 levels when connected to a PCIe Gen x4 connection (3.0/4.0). Rea...

please don't get me wrong, the only things i hate about the 4090 are in order: price and size.
i love the technology, i know it's the shiniest shiny. i just know it's not profitable.
halo cards sell the mid-range cards, which is where the money (and wafers) are at
well it's more profitable than not having a card that competes with it at all.
amd are pitting their 533mm2 die against nvidia's 400mm2 ga103

no
just no
again your math is not just off, it's spurious. you cannot compare the die sizes between a MCM and a monolithic design it makes no sense. MCM's can have whatever the heck die size they want and it doesn't affect yield. monolithic designs are exactly opposite

to me intel being quite competitive on price, not being able to put up a good fight against ad102 and slacking on rt yet again would be a final nail in the coffin scenario for amd's dgpu sales.

AD 102 is totally irrelevant to the marketplace except for marketing purposes (its designed role)
there won't be any cut-down GPU products from it (until much much later and maybe not even then).
AD 103 has higher yield and has had more wafers fabbed (over 2X) than AD 102
AMD and Intel are going to do what they do and both will have profitable product lines especially after Nvidia's disastrous launch of Lovelace.
