I’m worried that the choice of not going first with the RDNA2 presentation is because they know it’s going to be disappointing and not competitive with RTX 3000.
It's not out of the question to save the best part of a presentation for last.
With Intel stuck in process hell for a while longer, I primarily hope AMD can gain ground on Nvidia. They are pushing a lot of innovation and gaining market dominance, both in the ML/GPGPU space and gaming (with ray tracing, upscaling, etc). We need some competition to keep prices low and innovation high medium to long term.
What's their CUDA competitor this year? Are they pushing out client libs for Vulkan or are we sticking with trying to make ROCm work?

Given AMD's market cap and financial success, I bet they're working on competitive designs now. There's no money in being an also ran in the space.

The industry at large is moving to SYCL, which can be implemented on top of OpenCL / CPUs / FPGAs.

Sure - but waiting to announce (and hopefully release) for over a month after your competitor is SHIPPING is a sure way to lose sales. At the very least they need to leak potential pricing and performance in the mean time.
The likeliness of Apple allowing NVIDIA to produce Mac drivers again is close to zero. It’d be nice for AMD to be able to compete with GPUs again.
At the beginning of the year I thought AMD were going to have an amazing year. I think they’ll probably continue beating Intel but the new nVidia cards look really good, and very good value. I hope AMD still have an ace up their sleeve.
its very amazing for AMD since Lisa Su became the CEO. we are talking about a stock not too long ago (2016) at $2 and in just 4 years it jump to $80.

Chips are in the pipeline for many years, so products being released today are probably on the tail end of being impacted by AMD cutting GPU budgets to the bone to focus on Zen. I wouldn't expect miracles. Given AMD's market cap and financial success, I bet they're working on competitive designs now. There's no money in being an also ran in the space.
I'd really urge anyone wanting to opine on these issues to watch the official analyst day videos and read through the releases AMD has put out so far in terms of architecture and other tech decisions they've made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMNwLVJQzGs&t=10064s
Zen3 is propably gonna kick-butt, especially in any non-gaming task perhaps AMD will inch closer to Intel in gaming loads aswell, but i don't care too much.
