It's one leaked card. Buying and testing/reviewing this could make you thousands in revenue because it's basically classified info millions of people would like to know.
To be fair, the rumored $750 MSRP is ridiculous too.
Last time I heard, no drivers were available yet. So... You are getting a brick at this point.
That is an expensive door stopper that will evolve into a gpu
Like a Pokemon fossil?
You might be able to use the release candidate linux kernel to benchmark it? Would be kinda irrelevant for windows people that will be using full release software
I think you can test it under Linux. The MESA 25.0 has a support for RDNA 4 and they released a rc3 version recently (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-25.0-rc3-Released), so yes, you can potentially test it on your YouTube channel, do a hardware review of the internals and then sell it back and make a bank in the process.
Still analyzable, and potentially stresstestable
