Why do AMD products have “more” but don’t perform like they have more?

Like the RX 580 has 8gb of VRAM, but has similar performance to a GTX 970 with 3.5/4gb of VRAM. Or like their processors with a higher core count that doesn’t seem to mean much when compared to Intel CPUs with the same core count.

Because that’s just one number. A semi truck has more wheels than a sports car, why doesn’t it perform like it has more?

That’s the easiest number to measure, but it’s also the easiest number to make really big, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they focused on that number on purpose.

Adding more wheels to a car does not make it go faster.
