Future CPU/GPU prices won't be gettiing any better, guys:

TSMC 2nm Process Wafers Priced at $30,000 with 60% Initial Yield
https://www.guru3d.com/story/tsmc-2nm-process-wafers-priced-at-with-initial-yield
The race for next-generation semiconductors is heating up as TSMC and Samsung move forward with their 2nm process technologies. TSMC has announced that its wafers will carry a fixed price of $30,000 each, aimed squarely at the high-end artificial intelligence and high-performance computing markets.(...)

On the production side, TSMC’s roadmap shows a clear path toward large-scale output. The company expects to begin trial production within the next few months, followed by ramping up to 60,000 wafers per month in 2026 across four fabrication plants. Reports suggest that the initial yield rate for its 2nm nodes is around 60–65%, with SRAM modules achieving yields of over 90%. These numbers are strong for an early-stage process, and analysts believe TSMC does not face any major technical roadblocks to volume manufacturing. That stability is critical for customers who depend on predictable supply for high-value products such as AI accelerators and flagship mobile processors.
