AMD decided not to release a high-end GPU this cycle so any investment into 7x00 or 6x00 is going to be wasted as Nvidia 5x00 is likely going to destroy any ROI from the older cards and AMD won't have an answer for at least two years, possibly never due to being non-existing in high-end consumer GPUs usable for compute.

No high-end consumer RDNA4 GPU this cycle. And it's only missing the very high-end model. So we'll still get at least a 7800xt equivalent and whatever CDNA MI models they come out with.

The market for the extreme high-end consumer is pretty small, so they're only missing out on clout.

The top-end RDNA4 GPU will have 16GB RAM. That's a massive regression compared to 7900XTX and performance-wise it should be at best at the 7900XTX level. We are discussing AMD cards for LLM inference where VRAM is arguably the most important aspect of a GPU and AMD just threw in the towel for this cycle.
