That should offer a pretty healthy bump in performance. Especially for the low-end models. I'm sure the price will get a "healthy" bump up too, though...

How is it delayed when AMD hasn't made a statement of its release date?

If the average price of a 6700 XT is around 850 euros, I guess 6750 XT will carry a very unattractive price as well, like 950 euros. Miners can keep them.

Way too late out in the market, 3000 and 6000 are not that interesting anymore

Maybe for a people that happen to get one in this crisis but for others we are very much still interested.

Exactly. He has a RTX 3070. This current gen of cards will be interesting for a while TBH. But hey, I still think a HD 7970 GHZ is interesting. Its crazy what that 10 year old gpu still can play these days at 1080p.

I don't remember AMD making an official statement, is there a link of that? I'd be really interested.

Rx6950xt black edition cooler was supposed the release april 20 so not a big delay. https://www.techradar.com/news/amds-trio-of-new-gpus-could-launch-april-20-headed-by-rx-6950-xt-black-edition
Yeah, that's the point i'm trying to make. There were rumours that AMD would release something at some point in time so since there's no official AMD statement of a release window or date, there's no delay. It's just a click-bait word in an article title, nothing more.

Paid $30 for this 7970. Had no fans. Slapped some from my dead R9 390x. Works perfectly. I may slap it in my HTPC as well as it needs a gpu.

right now i,m pretty damn pleased i pulled the trigger on 6900xt. i want performance but i don't want diminishing returns (of the XTXH OR 3090/ti). these models should be available widely as most miners aren't going to be changing out their rigs for a refresh. some will of course, but it isn't compelling to the miners when next gen is within a calendar year.
