I have a question why now and not next year, we constantly hear that tsmc is full and extra capacity won't arrive till 2022, I realise Valve don't need a huge amount especially early just enough to get them through preorders and then when thing open up they will have a fair indication of what they need and hopefully can access more ,but still its extra capacity in a tight market, so where are Valve getting that capacity from, any ideas?

Well it won't start shipping until December and most of the pre-orders are slated for 2022 so it may as well be next year

I wonder how they managed to achieve such a low price. The specs/cost ratio is insane, and I don't know how they managed to get, for instance, RAM at that rate.
