GPU - now the price of a 5 year old Toyota.
RAM - 10x price hike in the last year
CPUs - prices increasing faster than processing speed
Economy - destroyed
Wages - stagnant
Social contract for young adults - Broken
Motherboard manufacturers - “why is no one buying our products?”
Yeah, “weak demand” is a bullshit argument. It’s “hey, I’d love to build a new PC but I can’t fucking afford half the components anymore so I’m not getting any”
I don’t think motherboard manufacturers are askign that question. I think they’re asking “why aren’t the RAM manufacturers making enough RAM? Why aren’t the GPU manufacturers making enough GPUs?”
Consumer case manufacturers and power supply manufacturers too. These few oligopolies on key components are screwing over more than just their own consumers.
Fair point there.
Intel could be making money right now, but they refuse to sell the 273PQE to consumers.
So… you’re gonna lower the price, right?
Right?
Makes sense I suppose
Who is buying a new motherboard if all the other components are significantly overpriced?
At least for me, I only get a new motherboard if I want a new CPU that my current doesn’t support
So now they’ll be cheaper, right?
