Making shit up as they go along.

They could just release early, with pricing as low as they are willing to go. If they really were trying to "cater to the masses" like all their marketing has been about, they would be comparing themselves to Intel's Battlemage.

They could come out and strike first against Nvidia with an unbeatable price.

Instead they are trying to position it as high and expensive as possible and ride Nvidia's coattails.

At least it gives me time to get the rest of the PC and save for the GPU but ... if it's not better than my current 7800 XT there's not much use in that...
