Yeah, because they were too cheap before. Unsustainable really.
I would willingly sell my house and all it's contents for the glorious bullshitted pixels per second count that nVidia GPUs provide.

Every time I think I want to upgrade my 2080ti, I see another article like this saying how nVidia is just gonna keep making things more expensive.
And this is before retailers add their 20% "fuck you, try and find this somewhere else" markup on top MSRP.
Guess I hope AI bros can keep nvidia going, gamers are straight up priced out of this market.
When the AI market crashes its going to be brutal.
that's what they said about crypto... but here we be :/
When it comes to semiconductors, there's always another grift.
Unfortunately, after AI, it'll probably be military drones.
Sometimes it seems to me that just maybe it could be possible that the same two or three companies controlling the entire supply of a crucial component for decades at a time is not really enough to enable the magic hand of capitalism to provide a healthy competitive market.
Well once upon a time there was this thing called the CHIPS Act ... and while that wouldn't have changed up corporate ownership, it would have at least got some domestic US chip fab going...
But uh Trump shit all over that, took credit for inventing it after he basically cancelled it, and then started a trade war.
Art of the Deal, you see.
In case of Nvidia and AMD, the same family even.
what's the history with that... i never heard of nepotism accusation but this seems sus AF haha
So I haven’t looked into the details of their respective rise to their position, but Jensen Huang (Nvidia’s CEO) and Lisa Su (AMD) are cousins, make of that what you will.
Nvidia? More like Novideo, amirite?
AMD is laughing. They were already overpriced and bad value for the money.
AMD is making a lot more off their CPUs than off their GPUs afaik.
No. Nvidia is raising prices cause fuck you.
