    Really depends on demand regionally. The 7900 xtx isn’t really flying off the shelves in the west. It’s kind of expensive and I’d say the GPU market in general feels a bit tapped out on the consumer side.

      long term wise the more gpus people buy the better it is for consumers since the prices would be lower as most of their expenses are fixed and not dependant on the number of gpus manufactured (that extends all the way down the supply chain to Taiwan and the Netherlands too)

      So yeah, it might (and probably won’t) affect the prices right away, or even the prices for 7900 specifically, but it will be accounted for when they decide on the prices for the next generation

      tl;dr rip the third world

        as most of their expenses are fixed

        I don’t think “most” is accurate, but the point remains.
