It can also be a way to make the numbers look bigger for everyone... Rather than sell a GPU at $500, instead you put the price up to $2000 but then invest in a startup on condition 80% of the investment is used to buy your hardware at inflated prices. Arguably this is what's happening to 'datacenter' GPU's which are far more expensive than consumer ones for similar performance. | ||

Are they still? At latest retail prices of 5090s, the economics don't seem to reflect that much of a discount; especially when you consider the half-rate BF16/FP16/etc accumulation (which has not been hacked/unlocked yet). Even 5060 Ti 16GBs are at 1.8x MSRP. | ||
