Yea naming scheme is as always manipulative but its not that bad... There is no bad product. only bad pricing

manipulative 50 tier Die parading as a 60 tier product

Correct me if I am wrong: you are saying that it is okay for the 7800xt to be a weak gpu for it's name, but it is not okay for the 4060 to be a weak gpu for it's name? Afterall, the 6800xt used Navi21 and the 7800XT is on Navi 32.

I think you left the difference of 4060ti vs 7800xt. Its the same as 3060ti in performance and at 400 dollars. Which is the same as 3060ti on sellers now. And for a node shrink and genertion uplift. You gain nothing because its a 50 class die. But it doenst have 50 class die pricing. Navi32 7800xt has 7700xt or 7800 non Xt die. But has 7700xt pricing

7800xt should be 7700xt. But 7800xt is priced as 7700xt (comparing to 6800xt msrp).

4060 is priced as 4060 while it should be named and priced as 4050.

Actually the RX 7800XT should've been called RX 7800, because both has 60CUs and 16GiB of VRAM, and the 7800XT has significant gains over the 6800.

I don't get why AMD released a successor to a previously XT named GPU as non-XT, the RX 7600 (successor of the RX 6600XT, both with 32CUs), and then released a previously non-XT GPU as XT, the RX 7800XT (successor of the RX 6800, both with 60CUs).
