You’ve probably seen several YouTube videos where people claim they have heard from, “someone in the know” that AMD isn’t making high end versions of their next video cards.

This is so damned much bullshit, chicken little is laughing at the sky falling…
It’s HALF a story.
The FACT is AMD has just released a paper regarding a more efficient method of computing object locations in a scene when ray tracing.
Currently the method used is called the Monte Carlo method. It is computationally intensive and requires… HARDWARE.
AMD has come up with a method (called Neural Intersection Function) that is 150% more efficient. This means that EXISTING hardware will… do what?
AMD can build cards that use less hardware, use less power, and what do you suppose that means?
LESS COST FOR MORE PERFORMANCE! So when you see the nonsense that “AMD is exiting building GPU’s…” No, they are building 150% more efficient GPU’s, at lower cost while the cost of graphics cards is going back up.
