Well, it is net waste for the company at some point. AMD is supreme at CPU now, their lineup is awesome for years. But look at last few graphic card generations. When was the last time AMD really competed in enthusiast market? It's been falling short for quite some time so now they admitted it, cut r&d cost and just skipped high end while focusing on most selling segment. And from the reviews it looks like it paid of as 9070 looks like a hell of an upgrade!
Don't get me wrong. Nv having no opponent is not a win, because they can and will charge even more for their top of the range. But I'm just saying this was a good decision *for AMD*.

The formula they have for performance to cost is a win, but I still can't help but be disappointed in them. -

Vast majority of people use low to mid range cards anyway, so why waste millions to just compete with nvidia, while most enthusiast people will buy nv anyway (because dlss, rtx, whatever hurr durr)? It's just waste of money for negligible returns. I don't even know one single person in my social circle that would have 4k/120Hz display anyway. Most (basically everyone) has either 1080p/144 or 4k/60 and that's mid range happy rodeo. I do have 1440p/144 and I feel like weirdo among my friends (why you need this?). -
