i will wait till next year and see how the prices level out on the 6800X

Hoped to get a good card for a reasonable price to upgrade from my RX 580 for FHD end January 2021. Now I fear I have to wait until next summer...

I have some informed speculation about GPU availability that I'd like your thoughts on. It starts with Apple buying all of TSMC's 5nm capacity for the rest of the year to fab M1 and A14 SoCs. Then AMD buys a lot of TSMC's 7nm capacity to fab Ryzen 5000, Radeon 6000, and PS5 + Xbox SoCs. AMD will likely give precedence to PS5 + Xbox, with 5000 series a close second and discrete GPUs last. The rest of TSMC's 7nm capacity goes to build Snapdragons for Android phones. The capacity crunch is so bad that Nvidia has to settle for Samsung's inferior 8nm process to build RTX 30-series on, going 7nm only for next year's datacenter GPU products. GPUs contain a lot more gates than CPUs, the die surface is huge, thus yields will be lower than for CPUs, putting additional pressure on production output. The unparallelled demand (human malware keeping humans at home, plus finally a good reason to upgrade because on paper both performance and cost per frame is quite ahead of previous gens) created a perfect storm coupled with squeezes on the production side resulting in the current shortages. It seems that AMD CPU availability is improving: being the lowest tier, 5600X is somewhat available, with the holy grail of fabbing perfection, the 5950X, not at all. Scalpers seem to be getting high margins on PS5 and XsX on Ebay still. GPUs are pretty much unobtainable still with no end in sight. The bottom line is that I don't think AMD & Nvidia chose to have low availability; there just isn't enough fabbing capacity available on the market at the quality they require. In retrospect they probably should have launched GPUs in a different quarter from when Apple introduced new iPhones and a whole new CPU architecture for their traditional computers.

I would really like to hear your thoughts on the M1 in general. How is the M1 going to change the future of CPUs? What do you think AMDs response will be to it? (I suppose—as things are at the time being—that we can just disregard Intel completely. Oh, but they do have a fancy blue tittle now …)

I just bought a MacBook Air M1, I'm a developer and can say that the benefits on battery and performance are real specially in performance per watt (specially in CPU only workloads) But the graphics performance is alright, is 30% higher than my 2400G and it really depends of the game. And on AI workloads is equivalent to MX330... so a GTI 1060 is like 10x faster, but it might be that the current frameworks are under optimized but still... I really want to see is the possible 5400G at the beginning of next year. What is worrying as you mention is Intel, what will be their answer...

Just joined the Patreon and watching back episodes.... "Wouldn't it be funny if Cyberpunk sucked..." Ouch. ;)
