The price rises don't actually increase profit margins for nVidia or AMD either. It's completely on the board manufacturers, importers and retailers side that see the extra dollar signs.
nVidia and AMD just win on increased volume sales.
So the bitcoin cards are there to try and fill that gap.

Even Intel and Samsung have their setbacks and end up not matching up to their roadmaps, AMD and Global Foundries even more so. Even Zen was late by +-6 months, after all, same with Vega 10, and that's on a somewhat mature process, not one which still is mostly on paper. |
Just because Zen was late, doesn't mean Zen+ will be. Seperate teams.
We don't know if Zen+ will be using Global Foundries 7nm anyway. It might continue to use Samsungs 14nm Finfet at Global Foundries or might not use either and use a 12nm process, if Global Foundries tools it up appropriately.
Chances are we will see chips drop before tax time next year. And there is a plethora of reasons for that.
One is to get in-on the OEM upgrade cycle.
