- Some tech reviewers with fancy test equipment reported that AMD’s reference design Radeon RX 480 test units exceeded the 75 Watt power draw of PCI-Express Standard.
- AMD acted quickly and is issuing a software fix that will limit the Radeon RX 480’s power draw from the PCI-express slot.
- The more important issue is whether AMD can make enough Polaris GPUs to meet market demand.
- We should never let shorts who make it their mission to find faults on AMD’s products discourage us from staying long on AMD.
- AMD still has favorable buy signals from 90-day and 1-year algorithmic forecasts.
