In a strategic move aimed at capitalizing on the surging demand in the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) sectors, AMD is reportedly considering scrapping the high-end options of its next-generation Radeon gaming GPUs, such as the Radeon RX 8800 or 8900. This shift is expected to free up valuable resources and manufacturing capacity for the production of GPUs tailored for AI and HPC applications.
While this decision may grant AMD’s rival Nvidia a competitive edge in the high-end gaming market, it also raises concerns about potential supply constraints and price spikes for gaming GPUs.
