Talk about professional response, imo it looks pathetic.

It sounds like someone is a little frustrated, Bad sales maybe? I hope it is bad sales and we can get reasonable prices again.

"if we turn on ray tracing we’ll crush it" he says...
Go on then, turn it on.

Hey Jensen, Radeon 7 has 13.5 TFLOPs of FP32 and 27TFLOPs of FP16.
Guess what? RTX 2080 Ti has 13.45 TFLOPs of FP32 and 26.9TFLOPS of FP16.
And then there is FP64 where Radeon 7 does 864GFLOPs and RTX 2080Ti only 420GFLOPs.
And how does it happen that your $1200 RTX 2080Ti has only 11GB of VRAM while AMD's $700 has 16GB of VRAM?
Spoiler: "Trigger Warning."

Jensen afraid of the family congratulating his niece Dr Su for bringing AMD BACK to market during this year's Chinese New Year celebrations, sidelining his same old pair of jeans and 2019 edition leather jacket.

Radeon VII, not XII.
Also this is sort of an odd comment from a company who's about to launch cards without AI and ray tracing because none of those things are actually a thing....

I think the consideration here is that Nvidia's move on RT can be too early and too bad. There are hardly any games that utilize RT, yet the consumers have to pay all those extra bucks for RT. Now in comes AMD, without 'Hardware' Raytracing. They have in the very least positioned themselves very well to take the next round. I think he knows that and is remarking upon that.
And add to that, Vega II's 16GB HBM2 memory with 1TB of bandwidth. For rendering, that is a lot of memory (capacity and movement wise).

Last sentence of the article needs correction:
...The new Radeon XII will not be available until..."
This Nvidia guy may seem arrogant, but he's more right than wrong.
Radeon VII has performance at or lower than a 2080. No new technology (other than the die size). It's just a competing card at a comparable price point.
7nm is one of the only things exciting about this new card. The other is Radeon VII provides much needed competition by giving people a choice of this or that.
In my opinion, the bottom line is it's another AMD card overloaded with HBM2 VRAM (can't wait for the "futureproof" arguments about this). By the time we need that much VRAM, Radeon VII will be irrelevant because the GPU won't keep up with the future frame rate per resolution requirements (but just look at all of that VRAM!!!). AMD tends to throw in the unnecessary memory on their flagship to make make people feel they're getting additional "value".
I hope the gen of GPUs following Radeon VII really forces Nvidia to compete.

No hate to the amd fanboys but CEO Jensen Huang is right, maybe not that smart how he sayed it, but amd got nothing new or innovating atm, i expected better as well from amd, its just an overclocked vega that barely keeps up with a gtx 1080 ti or rtx 2080 with no new features or Technological Progress thats just how it is.

He obviously wants competition to help push his company/teams. The market is stale because only Nvidia are pushing forward. We need AMD to step-up. Navi can't come soon enough to help drive the market forward.

That's harsh language?? Whoever wrote that can't be serious.
