Foundry TSMC states prices of graphics cards and processors will increase by 9%
PC component prices are returning to normal now that the epidemic and crypto meltdown have passed, but it does not appear that this will be a sure thing in the near future. The cost of graphics cards and processors might increase by up to 9 percent in 2023, according to TSMC.
Graphics cards and processors are anticipated to experience price increases as a result of the current global inflation trend. As a result, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, predicts that graphics cards and processors will increase in price by 6 to 9 percent beginning in January 2023.
And this prognosis seems to come at a bad moment, given that the top three chip manufacturers, TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, are working hard to increase chip production in order to fulfill market demand and produce next-generation equipment. However, neither businesses nor consumers are prepared to pay a high price for products, especially those that are unnecessary. In addition, the increase occurs at a time when the economic situation is worsening and the price of essential items is rising.
Despite this concern, the outlook for TSMC remains positive. A report that the business is due to disclose at the conclusion of the second quarter indicates that the Taiwanese powerhouse could sell more chips for the first time than Intel.

It's good that we're getting FSR 2.0 in everything moving forward. I'll be doing fine with my 5700XT for years and years.

It's why i only upgrade my GPU and CPU every 8 years, there is zero need to buy every single generation.

These conversations go on with every release of next gen graphics card, Nvidia and their partners will do as they've done for a number of years they will price them as high as they can and they will still sell simply because, regardless of the current climate there a people who will always want the newest card and can/will get credit with which to buy them.

I have a RTX3080 and play games at 1440p. My lowest fps I get is 166fps on a AAA game at max settings and every bell and whistle I can check off. I honestly paid $1100 for it at the beginning of the pillage and plundering of the release. That is about my tolerance level for the 4000 release. So I don't have to buy this time around. I grew up in the 80's and remember well the recession then. Guess what, people still spent money on things they wanted and got car and home loans when the interest rates were between 18% and 10% at the end. People will still buy the new release, but with more belly aching about prices.

There will always be some few thousands of rich people worldwide that want the greatest and latest GPU at day 0, but once the initial swarm of them dies out, everyone else will think three times before spending so much money on a hobby.
These multi-billion companies do not stay multi-billion companies by selling only that initial batch, they do so by selling every day to average folk.
That "average" folk was miners in the last 1.5 years, not anymore.

I am seeing slow but steady decrease in average ETH hash rate every day, and while it takes time for the mining rigs to get disassembled and cards to reach the international market, they WILL reach them eventually.
Good luck to nvidia selling a 4080 for $1200 when one could pick a 3080 for under $400 on the 2nd hand market.
