The good world can return to the players

Citing DigiTimes ’own sources, it has published that graphics cards could be significantly cheaper later this month.

The decline in cryptocurrency mania came much sooner than expected, with the risk of a dramatic drop in demand running the risk of graphics cards lying in warehouses not finding a host - NVIDIA is said to have one million video cards parked. The severity of the problem is well indicated by the fact that the next generation of greens GPUs is not expected to hit the market until the fourth quarter, as an earlier start would put current products in an even more difficult position. If the predictions come true, graphics cards could be on average about 20 percent cheaper in July, which will obviously have a beneficial effect on sales.

TSMC and e.g. Global Unichip is far from happy with these developments; ASIC-based mining machines are becoming less and less marketable, which will have a very serious impact on revenues.
