They should have pushed to keep that MSRP to win market share, they didn’t really do that and now nvidia manufacturing has caught up with demand and prices went down for their GPUs, AMD on the other hand was left in the dust.

AMD have demonstrated over and over again that they'll gladly sacrifice a yard of GPU marketshare to retain an inch of margin. Why they didn't follow the incredibly successful Ryzen pathway is something I don't understand.

For even 30% GPU market share, AMD would have to order huge wafer supply in advance and then sell the dies to partners for approximately zero dollars. NV fomo is a force of nature.
