NVIDIA, the shortage of GPUs and their price, a topic so controversial that it raises discussions everywhere, but which is still relevant today due to the number of users who refuse to pay the exorbitant prices that the we see. We are starting this 2022 with good news, at least partial, since Colette Kress, the CFO of the Greens has left several pearls that limit and anticipate the (partial) end of this GPU problem.
Four desktop GPUs introduced in one go to complete a line of graphics cards that will hit the market at different times and which aim to bridge the gap to what’s new from Intel. But if there is a shortage, launching new GPUs is not contradictory? It seems not.
Price, scarcity and satiety: the end has come
What remains for us to see in this new year looks quite encouraging, mainly because on NVIDIA’s part they are bullish with the forecast and that says a lot today when you look at the market levels of some and all. others.
As usual in Jensen Huang’s company, she was the financial director of the company, Colette Kress, the one who put light in this dark well in which we find ourselves. The above says that NVIDIA will greatly improve its supply situation in this year 2022 and that for the first time in a year and a half, it will be able to meet the entire market demand.
This is something qualifying and important, since Colette herself has assured that there is a factor to take into account: it will occur at some point from the second half of the year. That is, we will end the spring and start the summer when what has been said is done.
The RTX 40 and the rise in January
To be more objective if possible, it must be said that NVIDIA also commented that this first quarter will have a 15% increase in the supply of chips, logically from Samsung, so it is possible that the graphics cards start low. fill in the chips. bit by bit shelves, as well as pallets with gaming laptops.
Series RTX 40 According to Colette, this will also bring a positive effect and from there that increase in production can also come, as a new launch involves leaving the current ampere behind.
What do we mean? Well, switching from Samsung to TSMC will undoubtedly mean a much higher chip volume where Koreans will see how the demand for RTX 30 GPUs will drop and with that they will be able to keep the balance between supply and demand, although not because your efforts yielded the results NVIDIA demanded.
We are therefore a few months away from what could be a drop, or at least a stabilization of prices depending on a greater number of units available. Now, we have to know if the prices of materials (and especially transport) are gradually returning to their original prices, where there would only be the doubt of speculation on crypto-currencies.
