It's not out of the question to save the best part of a presentation for last.

Sure - but waiting to announce (and hopefully release) for over a month after your competitor is SHIPPING is a sure way to lose sales. At the very least they need to leak potential pricing and performance in the mean time.

Is October 8th really a month after Nvidia is shipping?

I'm not sure how many units Nvidia is really going to move before then...

Per the article you're commenting on... RDNA2 is being announced October 28th. NVidia is SHIPPING RTX 3k on the 17th.

So yes, October 28th is more than a month after September 17th. Maybe read the article next time before you downvote.

I didn't down vote.

Sorry I misread the article.

Anyway I am still highly, highly skeptical Nvidia is going to move a lot of units so close to launch. The first batch is going to sell out in moments and from then on they will only be available way above retail price. Happens every time...

Also, many are probably looking into a new pc upgrade with the new RTX gpu's. I know I am. But I will most likely go for Intel 10900 CPU instead of the 3900X, the 10900 is also cheaper than the 3900X and XT in my country.
