GPUs prices really surprise me. Most PC part prices have remained the same over the decades with storage and RAM actually getting cheaper. GPUs however have gotten extremely expensive. $350 used to get you a really good GPU about 20 years ago, I think top of the line was around $450-500--now it only gets you entry level. Top of the line is now $1500+! | ||

Datacenter gpu margins are 80%+. Consumer margins are like 25%. Any company with a datacenter product that sells out is just going to put all their fab allocation toward that and ignore the consumer segment. Plus these companies are really worried about their consumer products being used in datacenters and consuming their money maker so they kneecap the consumer vram to make sure that doesnt happen | ||
