Samsung Foundry, the South Korean business's semiconductor foundry branch, announced a price increase for chip fabrication, which might affect numerous members of the computer sector, including Nvidia, because this company manufactures the DIEs in the GeForce RTX line 3000.

The reasoning for this increase is to expedite the process of acquiring funding for its new facility in Pyeongtaek, which will make chips at 5nm and 4nm, in order to remain competitive with TSMC and alleviate the industry's present supply shortage.

Given that Samsung may have already signed contracts for a specific price with its customers, this increase may not affect the prices of graphics cards and other components that are already in production; however, if a new contract is required, it will be made with the price updated, and this is where you will see the price increase. Hopefully, the contracts negotiated with Nvidia are long-term.
