What is AMD thinking!?!
436With GPU prices as high as they are a lot of people are excited for new entry level GPUs. We have seen rumors of the RX 6500XT and RX 6400 coming in Q1 2022 from AMD, but the VRAM is rumored at only 4GB. Is this (if true) a greedy move from AMD? Or could there be a less obvious reason why this is a consumer friendly move to limit the demand from crypto miners?
