I've also been wondering lately about all these leakers and how they continue to get press coverage. These "news" stories, first that a leaker says something, then another "news" story that they changed their minds and say the first thing they said was wrong. It's like they're just making up whatever random thing they want and saying it to get coverage, then getting more coverage by saying they were wrong, only it doesn't even report it that way. This is the second time I've seen something like this here in the past week or so. I generally avoid stories about leaks because they may or may not be right, so they're already not really news, but to have this back-and-forth crap being reported as news both times is a bit much.

this is more FUD and false rumors than real ones

It wasn't saying they were canceling anything, just that they were improving on it and releasing future products with those improvements. And now, it turns out, guess not, they got it wrong, whoops.

I do not understand so much press stating "disappointment" in 7900XTX. It's ~50% better than 6900XT and ~60% better than 6800XT. Quite good. True, 4090 is in its own league, but 7900XTX is $1000, so there's nothing too much to complain about, apart form those owners who have vapour chamber issues and need to get replacements.

Performance is actually fine and a big leap when you consider that it's their first chiplet design and the 7900xtx has just 4 more CUs compared to the 6900xt, expecting doubled performance was just silly.

While its accurate that RDNA 3 didn't have hw bugs, some of the reference gpu's did launch with a manufacturing problem (quality control if you will) in the form of there not being enough liquid for the vapor chamber which did produce inconsistent performance.

@neblogai: The author Fawad Murtaza has often not done any fact checking and has reported based on wrong leaks and questionable sources on many occasions in the past. RedGamingTech is more often than not wrong about leaks so your high level of skepticism is absolutely justified here.

Has this 'All the Watts' person proved himself to be a reliable leaker at all? Or is this just a new profile by Greymon55, after unsuccessful 'leaks'? Some of 'All the Watts' claims are very hard to believe- like Phoenix2 having 2 normal Zen4 cores and 4 dense Zen4C cores. And some of the things are already known to be wrong, like 7640HS specs from him.
