Apparently it jumped over 50 series. Im sure 60 series will jump over RDNA5. Thats how competition works...AMD is catching up to nvidia, not the other way around.
Their starting point is this Path Tracing performance on RDNA4:
According to Kepler they at least achieved parity (probably beaten Blackwell a bit). But you still have much smaller GPU vs. 5090...
You mean MLID leaks were never misleading about AMD performance? No way!
AMD: our RDNA 3 GPUs have 'enhanced ray tracing', higher GPU clocks
AMD says that its next-gen RDNA 3 GPUs have 'even faster clock speeds', 'enhanced ray tracing capabilities', and so more.www.tweaktown.com
2x 6900x performance. Some leakers were claiming 3x. So yeah, don't get too excited about that RT performance similar to 5090.
I would assume money. Everyone would buy on Steam, making less money for MS.
If Steam is blocked, it means multiple other things are blocked. it means you can only run programs that MS pre-approved. That means it is not a PC. No freedom means not a PC.
It may not even be their choice. Valve is under no requirement to bring Steam to Helix. Unless it is completely open and does not require Valve to jump through hoops, it is not a guarantee. As

said above. What if it is like a Windows store app? Valve probably passes in that situation.
There are no "GPU parts for raster, RT and AI".

I've explained this before but MLID is misinterpreting AMD docs wrt performance. He thinks if a slide says "Orion 10x RT perf vs Oberon" it means you can look at PS5 running a game at 30 FPS, multiply that by 10x and compare with 5090 doing let's say 200 FPS and conclude PS6 > 5090.
We don't know that. It was pointed out in a recent MLID video that Valve has passed before on a separate Windows store app. It could be as simple as not wanting to support a separate app or as complicated as some of the legal agreements. I have no idea but Valve does well enough that they do not need a Windows store app on a console.
It's not nearly as discrete (and I realise NVidia marketing particularly distorted reality on this).
Then it is not a PC. And if you don't understand the problem then you don't understand PC gaming. A PC is something you OWN, and you control. You put what you want on the PC. You run what you want on the PC. Any less and it is not a PC. That means no freedom for mods. That means needing MS okay for everything. It means the machine is doomed to PC gamers.
It will go well beyond that if they come swinging with xbox exclusives.
Xbox Series has sold roughly over/around 30 million. Why would they sell only a third of that?
Price if rumors are true and it is going to be expensive. I do expect it to break 15 mill+ just based on Xbox fans alone.
They've struggled to sell 30 million with a minimum entry price as low as $150 for series s (Verizon subscriber sale) and $350 for series X (general availability), and supply problems for ps5 for first 18-24 months. With helix at $1000 or more....no way they'll have the same amount of sales.
I think it depends on the price. MS just bumped up pricing on the Surface line. So could be looking at $1500+ for Helix.

Microsoft Surface tablets, laptops and hybrids have all gone up in price. This brings the flagship 15-inch Laptop 7 to $1,600 and the 13-inch Pro 11 to $1,500.

Yep, nothing controversial there.
The fact that you estimate msft will only sell less than 10 million units should be leading you to ask more questions. Aka where do they see this industry going and what is their prediction for windows gaming.
Its price is high only if PS6 undercuts it massively. Doesn't seem to be the case with how PS5 pro is priced now.
For $1200+, for 25% faster speeds than a PS6
What's not to like
You're saying $1200-$1500 will only seem high depending on PS6 pricing?
I mean no one want destroy the others hope but seriously if MS has failed until now why they should succeed with a pc tricked as an xbox?
Difference is no one wants to buy a Xbox right now, and even when they run promos to make it much cheaper than the competition, no one is buying. They try and release a big exclusive like Starfield, and has negligible effect on sales. The stock just isn't shifting.
