The limiting factor is TSMC, AMD can't just "ramp up" anything. The only way they can make more gaming stuff, is by cutting down their server and workstation divisions, which won't happen.

Retailers say they can't offer the card at MSRP, unless AMD subsidize them.
Either the card just cost too much to make, meaning MSRP should be higher, or someone in the supply chain is greedy (everywhere).
I finished Final Fantasy III. This one had a weird bug for me, where the game wouldn't start and stop my mouse from working on my main monitor, when a Stream or Video was playing on my second screen. Never had this with any other game and took a bit to figure it out.
Then more Final Doom TNT: Evilution on the Doom + Doom II port. The second half is definitely a step-up in difficulty, and three levels took me a while to beat. Level 16 had a nasty start, that I had to replay for a while, and not much ammo, if you don't know where the secrets are. In Level 18 and 20 I just constantly messed up, plus some late Archviles or a Cyberdemon, to surprise you. I'm on Level 23 now, hopefully I can finish this soon.
Finally, I was going to buy the Rise of the Ronin PC port tomorrow, but according to a review it needs to cook a bit longer, just like all the other Team Ninja games on PC. So I started Cyberpunk 2077. I watched a playthrough on Twitch last year, and it looked pretty good. So far it's pretty good. Right now, I'm doing some side content before continuing with Act 1.
The previous Unity port was also good enough for casual Doom players, but the new one is just better with mod compatibility, the mod browser or online multiplayer.
If you can believe the pictures posted on the net, most apparently cards went to Microcenter in the US. Some locations supposedly had 500+ each of both cards.
In Europe, it was only a bit better than the 50-series, unless you want to pay like 20% over MSRP.

How about you just tell us the name of the game, and not just drop a dozen others, and mangle your title.
Also seems like AMD only cares about the US again. Everywhere else just gets the crumbs, availability seemingly only a bit better than NVIDIA.
Just saw one retailer in Germany (nbb) still with one 9070 XT for 689€ (MSRP I guess), but when you click the listing, you get an error. The rest are 800€+
Other retailers I checked are all sold out, even at 900€, if they even have the 9000-series.
On geizhals (website to check and compare prices for tons of different shops) is only one single 9070 XT listing, a 900€ model directly from the ASUS store and even there you get a 404.
Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.
What's your issue with Linux compatibility and NVIDIA?
I know the drivers are proprietary and not as good as AMD, but my only issue a year or two ago with a 3080 was VRR with multiple monitors, which is supposed to work now.
AMD tried everything to mess this launch up, but it looks like it came out alright. It's not amazing, except maybe compared to the 50-series.
Watched the HUB video and gonna watch this as well, but if cards are actually available at MSRP (should be 720€ or something in Germany I think), I might get one and give Linux a proper shot.
Sources similar to yours, and I think that's been the case for years: https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20250109PD237/tsmc-54nm-3nm-capacity-2025.html https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/tsmcs-arizona-chip-fab-production-is-sold-out-through-late-2027
TSMC is also basically the only supplier, which is a reason the US and EU push so much for their own production lines, although it looks like the US wants to stop theirs.
NVIDIA used Samsung for one generation, people are saying because of the deal they got, but went back to TSMC, apparently because of yield issues.
Intel was behind schedule for a long time, and even used TSMC for their current line up, but I think their new 18A process is supposed to come this year, who knows how that will turn out.
For NVIDIA specifically I've also heard that the HBM chips for the high-end AI cards are also a bottleneck, otherwise we might get even fewer consumer GPUs, but I never followed up on that.
