The problematic A0 silicon revision was apparently the reason why AMD delayed the launch of the flagship RDNA 3 GPUs by almost a year. Despite this, AMD still launched the RX 7900 cards with this stepping that is exhibiting high GPU clock variability, power draw issues and disabled shader prefetch instructions.

Agreed. Seems like a few more months could have allowed them to iron this out and get closer to the 3ghz they were aiming for.

...all good advice, but AMD definitely did not want to miss out on the Holiday shopping season, IMO

I agree. There was going to always be the segment that buys no matter what. Might as well capitalize on it. 🤷‍♂️

With it being the first Chiplet like design, whether it was a technical or time hurdle, im not surprised that things didn't go without a hitch. Fingers crossed its lessens learned for next gen. 

 

Innovation usually comes with some deficit.
