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.

That, and have the drivers in a good launch state.

...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.
