    I wouldn't really want to comment on that, it's a matter between the component manufacuturer and the laptop ODMs.


    Yup and to be fair to both sides quite a few 280Ms went bad as well, but the 7970M was worse. Quite a lot could be saved by baking them, but that didn't (in my experience) lead to them living a full and productive life.

    It was the massive enduro performance hit that really haunted the cards.

    Basically saying those who have released AMD laptops will continue to do so and those that haven't will not.

    What a stupid wccftech article.

    AMD 7nm mobility lineup is being met with OEM/ODM pushback
    It turns out that AMD’s 7nm is meeting with some initial teething problems breaking (back) into the mobility industry. I found out that some ODMs have actually decided already that they are not going to be taking on AMD 7nm when it launches (more on this below). So without further ado, I will cut right to the chase.

    AMD does not have the financial ability to provide this level of support right now to everyone (they *are* providing this to some extent to Acer, ASUS and HP) and is not able to provide the relevant warranties – which is why Clevo, Tongfang and MSI feel they do not want to risk picking up AMD 7nm right now. While it goes without saying that this is bad for the gamer and narrows consumer choice, I will leave it up to the reader what to make of this.

    AMD has a habit of leaving manufacturers high and dry, so not much confidence in the market.

    I think demand based on Zen 2 desktop chips might start to tilt that back, but only if it really blows up.

    If there is a market wide shift and a better support network then that does change the equation on risk.
