Well the good news is they can't take away from you what you already have. It being an open source project, I'm assuming if they do anything to deliberately gut AMD performance, it'll get forked.
Also
Not on sale anymore, at least not at any vendor in my country, I searched an aggregate pricing website. Amazon has a few used ones left of some models, but that's probably a 2 or 3 digit figure across SKUs. Hold on to yours with an iron grip.
What kind of tok/s are you getting with it on Qwen 3.8 27B and how's the output quality? I may consider getting one if I can find one used or import from abroad.
I got mine used, around 600 imperial credits. Look for ads that provide proof of working and benchmarks (like FurMark)
Agreed, I was referring more to future updates. Obviously we’re good with what is available now.
I can’t speak to pricing and availability outside the U.S., but it looks like the one I got went up $100:

I traded in my 3070 and my final price was in the 700s. Last I looked, used ones were going for $800 on eBay vs. $1200 for a used 3090.
I run 3.8 27B at q4 with q4 context up to 200k. Decode is generally in the 30s and pp starts in the 700s and drops to the 400s as context approaches 200k. I use mostly Sonnet 5 at work and I would rate this setup with the OpenCode desktop app as pretty comparable overall for coding at least. Let’s just say I have no reason to use any cloud models, not that I would do that voluntarily outside of being compelled to at work.
