Top Story
- The launch prices of AMD's 9070 XT and 9070 have been revealed - probably - at $750 and $650 respectively. (Tom's Hardware)
They won't sell at those prices, not against Nvidia's $550 5070 and $750 5070 Ti. AMD is done in graphics. The 9070 XT needs to be at least $150 cheaper than the 5070 Ti to compete at all, even if it is faster.
- The actual retail price of Nvidia's $750 5070 Ti looks to be $900. (Hot Hardware)
Oh.
Nvidia is toast too.
Tech News
- Could AMD's announcement that there would be no 32GB model of the 9070 XT have been a modified limited hangout? (WCCFTech)
Alleged leaks from alleged graphics card partners are that there is indeed at 32GB model on the way, just that it may have a different model number.
- The Khadas Mind 2s is a very expensive mini-PC. (Notebook Check)
Its 16 core Intel 255H has good single-threaded performance but is well behind AMD's 12 core Ryzen 370 on multi-threaded tests.
That's coupled with soldered RAM (bad) but 64GB of it (good), and a single M.2 2230 slot for storage (meh).
That costs you $1599.
Then you need to buy a dock (a more reasonable $179) and probably a graphics module ($999 for and 8GB 4060 Ti, or $1099 for 16GB).
And an M.2 2230 SSD.
It's not badly designed, as such. It would be quite interesting at one third the price.

So, are Nvidia 4xxx cards reasonably priced now?

Mauser, they're priced very reasonably...but there' aren't any.
(More seriously, my local Microcenter has 3 4060 8GB models for ~$300. Best Buy's not showing anything otherthat the 8GB 4060 either.)

OTOH, re Disclaimer: "He was right, alright,
as he sped along,
but he's just as dead
as if he'd been wrong."

AMD and Nvidia are facing fierce competition in the graphics card market, with prices and performance Agario not being attractive enough to tip the scales, while expensive mini-PCs like the Khadas Mind 2s only become attractive if prices drop significantly.
