#2Such a weird & cruel modernity, where these releases are purely in the abstract. No, you still won't be able to buy a MI300X in Q4 2024. The enhanced edition will absolutely not be available.
(I miss the old PC era where the world at large was benefiting in tandem from new things happening (or falling behind from not adapting)).

Why not? Because they’re sold out to hyperscalers?

they're 15k - who exactly is disappointed they won't be able to buy one?

#5The claim that the next generation would be 35x faster, felt like an "Osborne moment" to me, but if demand is robust enough...

Paper launches aren't anything new. It's always been a thing especially in hardware.

Nvidia is doing the same thing. They announced B100 before H200 shipped and a few hours ago they started talking about R100 before B100 shipped.

What is kind of new is that hyperscalers sometimes get chips 1-2 years before the rest. If the new chip is 3x-4x faster that looks pretty unfair.

I think that's where short-sighted financial gain leads AMD to. Where's the money? -- datacenter. So let's focus the good stuff on datacenter exclusivelly. What about "the rest" (gamers, hobbist, students)? There's no money there, let's give theme crap RDNA that we make sure can't be used for any real work; just pretent we're catering for their needs.
I think their "consumer GPU" did so bad recently that AMD could just as well, you know, simply liquidate the "consumer GPU" division and stop pretending.
I'm in the "consumer GPU" market myself; what AMD GPU do I buy today? -- Radeon Pro VII, launched in 2020 and the best AMD consumer GPU I can find today.
It's such a divide. I could optimize my software for such powerful GPUs as the Mi300 line.. but why do that, given that probably I won't even see one such GPU in my lifetime.

People on reddit.com/r/localllama build even more expensive rigs sometimes. Everyone wants to run llama3 70B and eventually the 405B version.
