AMD's new GPU offers less for same price

AMD's newly launched Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card is facing criticism for offering reduced specifications compared to its predecessor, the RX 9070, while maintaining the same $549 price point. The RX 9070 GRE features fewer GPU cores, less memory, and lower memory bandwidth, leading to concerns about 'GPU shrinkflation.' This move comes amid a generally rising GPU market influenced by AI-driven shortages. The card's hardware is more akin to the older RX 7700 XT, raising questions about its value proposition for consumers seeking performance at this price tier.
