iPhone 15 Pro/Max. It's important to have a snappy response from your phone especially when you're busy, and Android hasn't been delivering that experience nowadays.
Pushing new technology is never cheap. We are all bend on claiming Nvidia is greedy and increasing profits while AMD is no concern. But there is a chance NVidia really tries to push the industry forward and not just bend over customers. You know, it is cool to hate on every company nowadays, but there is still a chance that the torch-wielding mob is not always correct.
That and in order to milk us more, they need new stuff sometimes. Kinda investing in future milking? Also possible.
Or they know that Intel is gonna make RT work in 2 years anyway, so they invest now in order to not be in AMDs position down the line.
Note: The phrase "some of them" hint at worst case scenarios, so likely 2070s or 2080s, not the 4 digit 2080ti cards.
This falls in line with some discussion I remember from one of the forums I read. People tried to calculate the RTX prices by Waver and GDDR6 pricing.
The numbers showed upwards of 900$, without any PCB, Cooler, etc. So the discussion died right there. No one wanted to believe it was that bad, including me,
which is the reason I did not save a link and don't remember where exactly I saw this calculation.
Considering NVidia is likely getting some form of bulk discounts, the numbers could have been true according to this new information.
They may actually try to push this tech out before it is financially viable for the masses.
The new information from Tech Jesus could warrant a new calculation, as people may not buy this info due to being sure it can only be greed.
This, however, was actually just a side note from Steve.
Upcoming price hikes due to government enforced tariffs in the US
Timestamp 6:18 onwards
The topic he is talking about in the video is actually Amazon trying to keep the prices down, even tho they are seeing up to 25% tariffs.
Board partners tried to raise MSRP, but Amazon tries to eat some of those tariffs so the prices stay competitive. Steve points out, that it is unlikely,
that they can keep that up and prices will likely go up for US costumers as early as tomorrow (6th of September).
He also makes sure to note, that these price increases are not down to Nvidia or Board partners, but a government enforced tariff that they have no control over.
There are a few takeaways I see here:
We don't know about Nvidia margins as these are partner margins, they could just make it expensive for partners. I would consider this unlikely tho.
This is likely US only due to the new tariffs. Possibly the first consumer good that feels the hurt of adding a tax on top. Margins will raise when prices evidently raise as well.
If these claims are true, we are less likely to see an RTX 2060, but may really get a GTX branded low - mid-tier lineup.
Currently, the price may be as low as it gets for US residents. So it may actually be a good idea to make up your mind before benchmarks if you are almost certain anyways.
We will have to see how it turns out, but the most likely outcome will be (much) higher prices for US customers in the very near future. Manufacturers will probably wait for launch day to get initial sales, then slowly increase the price in the following weeks, claiming "low stock and high demand". The usual marketing BS to cover up the real reasons will follow. I don't see them being able to follow Amazon's forcing hand if they are not making any profits. But those tariffs are hard to hide. So people will notice.
Please try and keep the political stuff out of this topic.
I know tariffs are a political thing and the consumers are paying for that, but this is more of an information about RTX pricing kinda topic. Please.
As reported by CNBC, Amazon has reached the 1 trillion milestone previously hit (5 weeks earlier) by Apple Inc.
Those who invested in Amazon stock a year earlier should be pretty happy about the news:
My opinion: purely from a business/ pragmatic standpoint, this should make Amazon investors quite happy and bulls even more optimistic. From an ethical standpoint, this news leaves much, too much to be desired. It has been reported previously that Amazon doesn't pay its workers fairly, not enough to have a decent life anyways. Not to mention that Amazon is working on a project (second headquarters) to make its workers pay taxes to the company rather than the government as reported by Secular Talk on Nov 27th 2017.
