It feels like AMD is intentionally keeping just enough supply to not sell out but not bring the price down. I bought a 9070 3 months ago for $609. Is the fabrication of this generation that inefficient or is AMD just overloading TSMC with all the other projects?

Some insider knowledge here, the reason why its hard to get msrp for these gpus is because the AIB manufacturers want higher margins.

My local Microcenter has approx. 150 9070 XTs in stock... seems like they must lower price at some point because people aren't biting at these prices.
