Sure. But we hear a lot about Hotz because all the unentitled people rolled their eyes and went over to buy Nvidia cards. He's one of the major voices who are unreasonable enough to pipe up on Twitter and air dirty laundry.

I doubt AMD are going to listen to him. They're in a great spot and are probably going to tap into the market in a big way. But Hotz isn't crazy to test them in an odd way - although he'd probably be better off dropping AMD cards like most other people in his price range would.

He should have just read the Lisa Su interview from Q1 2024 where ahe laid out AMDs strategy without equivocating

I think this is what's best for everyone. Looking at his recent track record[1], he seems like a person who's gets really excited by kicking things off and experiencing the exponentially growth phase, and then when it flattens out into a sigmoid curve, he dusts his hands and declares his work done, and moves to the next thing.
