So apparently TSMC will charge $30,000 per N2 wafer... which is double the price of the already expensive N5/N4.

Are they really the only manufacturer on the planet?.

This is just getting silly now. I get "line must go up", but "price must go up" is just a nasty ass combo. Nvidia can afford that due to their endeavours, but what about AMD?. 

I think at some point, you just gotta pull the trigger. It's why I got a 4090 even though in my life time, I never spent anywhere close to this much for a GPU. You can get a 7800XT for $500 and be happy for 4-6 years but I'd wait for RDNA 4 at this point since I think the RDNA 3 oversupply rumours are legit based on AMDs track record of RDNA 2 oversupply.

For me there really isn't much point in upgrading till post next gen console launch. I am sure Nvidia will push whatever the next big thing is around 2027-2028. So I'll skip both cpu and gpu upgrades for some time.
