That AMD GPU + CPU performance boost thing is a scary precedent to set. Vendor lock-in is evil. Reminds me of Apple. Hopefully Nvidia and Intel don't do something like this in the future. Maybe Intel will do it with their own GPUs and then nVidia will be up a creek oof

Good for those deep into the AMD ecosystem... but don't the majority run Intel and for AMD B450/X470? Just wondering how many initially get this 'boost'. The CPU isn't even out yet, so the number is officially at zero. I feel a bit bad for those running X470 and below... in order to get these improvements, you need to buy a CPU and motherboard.https://www.techpowerup.com/274127/...rx-6800-xt-benchmarks-tested-on-ryzen-9-5900x
AMD really promoting SAM here

New information on the AMD's BIG NAVI
We have the RX-6900xt, 6800xt, and 6800
PLEASE take all info with a grain of salt until WE have official reviews
The RX-6xxx Series Info

Here is some released Benches from AMD. If the RX-6800XT ($649) is this close to a RTX-3080 ($699) -> A Price drop is coming <- WOW

I'm more than certain it will swing AMDs way. But it will take time. I think of it as a bonus for those who are in that ecosystem. Surely this will bring more.. I mean why not free performance along with a better CPU at reasonable price? Still, it will be years before it swings to a majority as there are still those hanging on to plenty capable X470 and below/Intel based systems. I wouldn't move on from a 9900k or better, at least for a couple of years.There was some figures that in the diy sector that AMD were outselling Intel 10:1 in the period April 2019 to April 2020. And the diy system builders are more than likely the ones to use things like this from AMD as they will often buy higher end gear.
Yes of course many more people will own Intel systems right now, but going forward for the next few years, will that be the case? Who knows.

No one is forcing anyone to upgrade, point is that when you eventually do (if you go AMD) there will be a few hardware combos that offer a performance boost "above and beyond" [emoji106]
Now the ball is on Intel's side to come up with something equal/better to keep people from choosing AMD.
