RX vega and threadripper

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I like the fact that AMD is bundling other pc components with vega at a reasonable price. I think that this will be very beneficial for the consumer market in terms of boosting sales for AMD as well as providing great value for the money at a much cheaper price. But the main problem is that if you want to buy the vega 64, you have to buy it with bundled items. As linus states in his video, if this is an attempt to ship cards directly to gamers only and wipe out the massive inventory of coin miners, AMD must be in a good place. But,  if AMD is applying these restrictions directly towards coin miners than the concept of fairness in terms of selling vega to the public whether its coin miners or gamers, than AMD must be using a different marketing strategy to turn away the coin miners and bring in the gamers. Will this benefit AMD in terms of sales, or will this reduce sales with applying these restrictions. AMD is definately taking a different approach in terms of marketing strategies that could potentially change the way the consumer market sees vega whether its coin miners or gamers. I think the reason why AMD is applying these restrictions direclty towards coin miners is because stock is very limited and AMD cards seem to be sold out everytime because of coin miners. What could this mean for AMD?

AMD could also simply not want to deal with massive RMA's when the next big crypto currency falls which would leave them with lots of cards and possible no one wanting to buy them.
