That sure is some bad framing. Nvidia is charging too much to squeeze out the AIBs or they all just want too much profit for their part in this. Either way its not that the MSRP is charity(!) its just high prices.
Absolutely, I’m positive that if it weren’t for this “AI” speculative bubble we’re seeing right now they’d be selling at a slightly lower cost. They just see an excuse to get as much cash from as many people as they can.
What a terrible article. The margins for board partners is small, but Nvidias margin is huge.
The MSRP that is already 15-45% higher? I’m hoping to get nvidia card, the 3rd party just are too expensive and price gauged for 4 years.
Also, how many of them did some anti consumer bullshit in the past 2 years? Who’s left as the good brand now?
