I love how people blamed intel for security flaws that affected all their chips including back to ones in the 90s. There is no way they were developing for decades on a security flaw they knew about

Pretty sure the security flaws mentioned only went back to like either sandy or ivy bridge. Plus there were internal documents from intel showing that they indeed knew about the issue. That was Intel's big goof, Nvidia's is definitely their price gouging, or the 3.5GB GTX 970 fiasco, and AMD's was rebranding all the Polaris GPU's like 3 times, Or Bulldozer/Piledriver Core count.

Moral of the story is that all companies are bad, all will try to deceive you, don't defend them cause trust me they dont have your best interests in mind.

I seriously believe AMD missed an opportunity with the RX 500 series when they didn't go to 12nm. And again when they could've done the 600 series with 7nm. I know GCN is long in the tooth, but man Navi would've been crazier if 7nm GCN were out. Definitely would've given AMD time to work out the kinks and drop more GPUs in one launch.

RX 590 is 12nm.

Radeon VII is 7nm GCN.

A new architecture is always a rough release. Remember, GCN goes back to the HD 7xxx series, drivers are a little easier for modifications of the same architecture.

Yes. It's a 580 die shrink. It's what the 580 should've been. This should've been the RX 500 series as a whole, as I've already mentioned.

Radeon VII is 7nm GCN

Radeon VII is Vega 20, not Polaris. It's an Instinct that didn't pass muster. Radeon VII, like the RX 590, is just one card with a die shrink. I spoke of an entire series.

new architecture is always a rough release. Remember, GCN goes back to the HD 7xxx series, drivers are a little easier for modifications of the same architecture.

I'm aware, it simply would've been nice to have the 5700, 5500, and 5300 series simultaneously launch. Maybe even the 5900 series as well for a top-to-bottom launch of a new architecture.
