    I can’t say they’ll screw it up, but I will say that AMD won’t produce enough cards to move the market or bring prices down. Their current lineup is still selling above MSRP, meaning there’s more demand than supply.

    AMD, like any company, would rather earn a fat profit margin on a few sales than a thin profit margin on a ton of sales. It’s less work for them, plus high prices keep their add-in board partners happy.

    We had to listen to them bitch and whine about having to make more 9800X3Ds and that’s their darling, so I really don’t think they’re going to show much love to their red-headed stepchild, Ruby*.

      Sure they’d rather have a fat profit if it would be sustainable at all, but like the lunatic on the internet yelling into a camera says, what they’d need for that to happen is customers.
