At some point during the fog of 2021 or 2022, I noticed that my son’s preferred brand of fruit snacks had switched from including 0.9 ounces per pouch to 0.8 ounces per pouch. Most shrinkflation<\/a> is meant to fly under the radar, but in this case, I just happened to notice it. It felt bad! It’s tangible evidence that your money is not going as far as it did in the very recent past.<\/p>\n

A little over a year ago, AMD launched the Radeon RX 9070<\/a> for a suggested retail price of $549. This month, it’s launching the similarly named Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a suggested retail price of $549. This new card (actually the US launch of a GPU that’s been available in China for a year or so) has 85 percent as many GPU cores, 75 percent as much memory, and 66 percent as much memory bandwidth as the regular RX 9070.<\/p>\n

We’ll evaluate the RX 9070 GRE in the context of the current GPU market, where prices have been edging upward due to the same AI-driven RAM shortages and price hikes that have made PC building and buying such a miserable experience for the last few months. But it’s hard not to be a little upset about such a clear example of GPU shrinkflation\u2014the same money for a markedly inferior product.<\/p>\n
