What is crazier is that even now Intel and Nvidia's revenue aren't that far apart, which shows how much Nvidia overprices their HPC stuff (and how poor Intel has been in converting revenue to actual profit).

Well Intel has a pretty big money sink in the form of fabs. If Intel didn't have fabs to pour billions into, they would likely be making decently close to Nvidia in profits. TSMC has been eating Intels breakfast, lunch and dinner while AMD has been finishing the desserts. If Intel does not get their CPUs shat together, they will end up a penny stock. Ironically long term wise, their GPU division might be a light at the end of the tunnel if Radeon keeps shitting the bed and Nvidia keeps being greedy. But while Nvidia will always be greedy, Radeon can certainly fight back if they get their act together.

I'm seeing 5080s on sale second-hand here for almost 3500$, and a few 5090s at 4500$ and climbing in the bidding rounds. All still unopened. Scalpers are making a killing right now. One of the 5090s had 8 new bids over the course of 5 hours today (I think it just reached 4700$ now). Good times. My 4090 purchase is looking more and more worth it in hindsight.

All I need is a decent OLED screen, and I'm good to go for a good, long while with my rig.

Two more days for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! Just watched the DF analysis, it's honestly looking amazing, and it performs so much better than any major release of the past year. Warhorse Studios have worked wonders with the engine.

Yea 4090 was a stellar GPU even if it was expensive. I certainly saw the writing on the wall where it was very unlikely we would get a node jump to this degree for quite some time. The fact that it was only $100 more than the $1500 3090 while providing a 60-70% raster jump was nuts. With 24GB of vram and all dem Nvidia goodies, it was hard to pass if you had the money.

Fast forward today, even at MSRP, the 4090 would have kept it's value slotting in between a 5080 and 5090 very nicely. But both of those being out of stock and scalped hard basically means the 4090 will retain or up it's value since 4090s have been discontinued for some time. According to GNs video, the shipments of 4090s were around 130,000 units within the first 3 weeks of launch vs like what? Under 10,000 units for 5090s? Maybe under 1000? That's like universes apart lol. Doesn't help that all the factories in China and such are closed due to Lunar new year so these gpus aren't even being produced... Yea no wonder the msrp is nuts cause this shit is gonna be out of stock for some time.
