I'd argue the 9060 and 9070 are less AMD not screwing up and more Nvidia setting records for screwing up. The 5060 and 5070 are wastes of silicon that are out competed by Nvidias own hardware nevermind AMDs offerings. The 9060 and 9070 are not bad GPUs, but they're not really good either.
If Intel can close the performance gap with AMD while also maintaining their price points we might see some genuinely good GPUs as AMD is forced to compete with someone (Nvidia isn't really a competitor, AMD isn't even attempting to compete at the high end, and Nvidia refuses to compete at the low end). My only fear in this scenario is that AMD does the same thing they did previously when they struggled to compete with Nvidia and just exits the GPU market entirely.
It would be truly ironic if we ended up in a situation where AMD is the dominant CPU manufacturer, Intel dominates the budget GPU market, and Nvidia dominates the market for people with more money than sense.
