    This is all on the manufacturer. AMD often does this, gets themselves a whole lot of press, to release like 10 units to the public. Then they bask in all the, “people are fighting to get it” press. Look at what they did with those 7900XTX cards, like they pretty much pushed me right onto nvidia’s lap. I’ll never be able to wrap my head around this strategy, why they think it’s a winner. It’s great that you have a good chip, but if most can’t get it, then what do you expect your sales to be like? I mean I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve queued for a computer chip, because it’s zero.
