We live in an era where RAM and SSD are at a very competitive price and, CPUs and GPUs increase in price, to the point that unavailable portions of many users who want high performance or high jump
This jump in performance and features is well-suited to inflation, and the fact that in a profit-driven industry does not mean that total costs are saved.
For graphics cards, the value of VRAM will also determine the item
AMD and NVIDIA's work has finally been in the same category due to Lisa Su & # 39; s mindless competition. But in the mid and low distance, Navi's arrival means an increase in costs that the user was wrong.
This jump is less linked to performance itself, but to the amount of VRAM available in each model. When we analyze the current market and available models, the low-end currently has a minimum of 4 GB of VRAM, the mid-range 6 GB and the mid-range are already up to 8 GB almost identical to most of the time.
This jump produced by AMD and its RX 5700, RX 5600 and RX 5500 is now a breakthrough for NVIDIA to take on the SUPER series and the subsequent action. Lisa Su led Huang & # 39; s in low-profit bids because their 7 nm chips are cheaper to make than 12 nm chips because of their size and price tag.
Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron say goodbye to GDDR5
To this we must add the fact that GDDR5 is into EOL like GDDR5X, so it's all based on GDDR6 right now. To such an extent, that the top three GDDR6 manufacturers will be sprinkled memory contributes up to 15% According to sources.
This will mean an increase in price, as demand is expected to be much higher due to the new generation of both GPU manufacturers and, above all, the introduction of new startups.
Initial data is encrypted a 5% increase in GDDR6 price it is already the first quarter of 2020, but it is not clear what the VRAM capacity is specifically meant for. This is important because it is expected that 2020 will be the beginning of 8 GB horizontal position and jumping to 16 GB at the high end, which, if the price increase is broadly reflected in this VRAM model, a larger capacity will mean a higher final price.
Obviously, this percentage increase has no visas be replaced by AIB chip manufacturers or integrators, so it's very likely that eventually the cost increase will eventually pay off the end user, as we saw after the transition from GDDR5 / X to GDDR6.
