    What does GRE stand for? And why make the naming even more confusing? Weren’t the XX50s supposedly the “in between” models already? Then they did the 7900 GRE to have something between the 7800 XT and the 7900 XT, and now we get a 7650 GRE?! Why no 7850 XT or 7650 XT? Is this thing going to be better or worse than a 7600 XT?

      GRE

      I think it’s Golden Rabbit Edition, which used to mean this was a variant dedicated for the Chinese market.

        Like I am also looking at how to upgrade and damn these handhelds look like such a win win. Full gaming system for the cost of a single decent GPU

          If you also didn’t have a gpu then you could compete with the steamdeck

    Is AMD finally realizing that unless they lower prices their tenuous hold on the GPU market is going to slip away entirely?

    I’d give it 50% odds at best.

      I would suggest looking into a used Nvidia card instead. Something like an RTX 2080 or 3080 (or one of their variants), depending on your budget. DLSS alone makes these vastly superior to anything AMD has on offer.
