Dam well it looks like he is only taking some time off to spend with his family,Amd is Growing Big-time and I am very happy to see them finally be able to compete and even beat Intel,I cannot speak much about the graphics portion ( Radeon) I havent ran a Radeon since the 6970 but they are off to a very good start! Wish them all the best as I am sure many of us here do. Go Amd and Radeon! Even tough I like Nvidia more lol.

Honestly, no big deal. He more or less goes on prolongued vacation.

Raptr shutdown, Raja on "vacation". PC gaming is suffering two huge losses.
He has a bright future in the mining field.
Nvidia should be worried, Navi is coming!

Somehow Nvidia can manufacture enough GPUs to satisfy the demand while AMD cannot. That should be a big worry for AMD. People can't buy their products if no products are available for purchase, so it's lost sales and lost money.

If Nvidia will develop a better card for mining that will kill AMD on GPU for desktop.

So by there being no availability means they are selling out as soon as they come in, means that is bad for business? What school of economics taught you that nugget? Yes like OMG... Vega didn't beat an 1080TI wholly hand grenade, but at the 1080 level it's a no brainer. Choose with your money, not your mouth.

mining is not a long time solution.. they need to get back their market. for miners the sells look great now. many people might say they have good cards now. see vega is basically a year late product. they have nothing to compete with the top end for a while. they cudnt fight the 1080 last year and they have nothing against 1080ti this year.. the gpu market is strange and usually the company has the top card sells more cards even in the middle section too.. we dont see that r8 now just because miners. i didnt see a single good gpu from amd after 290x. they must go back to the board and redesign.. no more GCN...

The guy worked his ass off day and night for the past year and even so Vega was "late" and "disappointing". Imagine if he (and others) didn't sacrifice so much, Vega would be here by mid 2018...
For sure Navi is on the way and the roadmaps are planed for Vega 11 and 20. He needs a time off? Give the man some family time.
My only grudge against AMD is not having enough Polaris to meet demand, in the end I had to buy an RX560 instead of the RX570 I wanted...

For me this seem a polite way of AMD saying that Raja Kodori failed and that maybe it´s better if he steps off and give the place to another person... My interpretation of this of course, it could be just and extended vacation.

The thing is, if you go down the road of sources given, at one point (fudzilla) it just says "according to our source" without any further information. It might as well be a leaked internal email for all we know.

Maybe we should just assume it is what it is said to be. I am sure a long rest is in order for Raja. Sure it could have other meanings, but spinning this in all different directions is a bit silly at this point.
