There’s no non-reference designs of Radeon PROs, I think. Instincts, even less. If the ranges bleed into each other they might actually sell reference designs down into the gamer mid-range but I admit that I’m hand-waving. But if, as a very enthusiastic enthusiast, you’re buying something above the intended high-end gaming point and well into the pro region it’s probably going to be a reference design.
And as a side note finally they’re selling CPUs boxed but without fan.

True you’ve got a point, but i don’t think there’s gonna be many reference designs simply because AMD is cutting expenses as much as possible by selling fabs in the past, simplifying merchandise lineup now, and i guess they’ll outsource as much as possible to non-reference manufacturers as a part of existence cutting measures, they also include outsourcing manufacture to tsmc in the past and opensourcing most of their software stack so community would step in to maintain
