| Captain_Yuri said: ‘Moore’s Law’s dead,’ Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says in justifying gaming-card price hike “We are very, very specifically selling into the market a lot lower than is what’s selling out of the market, a significant amount lower than what’s selling out of the market,” Huang said. “And I’m hoping that by Q4 time frame, sometime in Q4, the channel would have normalized, and it would have made room for a great launch for Ada.” To critics, Huang said he feels the higher price is justified, especially since the cutting-edge Lovelace architecture is necessary to support Nvidia’s expansion into the so-called metaverse. “A 12-inch [silicon] wafer is a lot more expensive today than it was yesterday, and it’s not a little bit more expensive, it is a ton more expensive,” Huang said. |
As I said the other day, while there's no doubt that the chips are more expensive to make (TSMC raising their prices to reap more profits from the chip shortage and Nvidia having to pay a premium for using their latest process node, more noticeable because they got there from the cheaper Samsung 8nm fabs), AMD has two things going for them to minimize the price increase, and that's using the not so expensive 5nm process and going with chiplets, giving them more chips per waffer.
If RDNA3 are as expensive as Nvidia it will be only because AMD wants, not because they need to be that high.

I checked it and there are already some discounts. I think it's the first time I've seen 6700XT cards for less than 500€.
