In the past two months, the price of graphics cards has plummeted. AMD's RX 6000 and NVIDIA's RTX 30 series have doubled in price due to the mining boom. Now they are rapidly falling below the issue price and are expected to fall to the bottom during the 618 period. will be fine.

This wave of graphics card price drops is considered to be the consequence of the collapse of mining cards, especially ETH Ethereum is about to turn to POS, and mining is no longer feasible, but this has been talked about for a long time, and the official has been delaying the time point of POS, so the graphics card price collapsed along with it. The specific reason does not seem to be found.

Analysts from the semiconductor research firm TechInsights have a more pessimistic view. They believe that the reason for the sharp drop in graphics card prices is the change in semiconductor production capacity. In the past two years, global chip production capacity has been tense, but manufacturers are also actively expanding investment and accelerating production capacity. In 2022 Just at the stage when the production capacity began to explode, the price reduction of graphics cards means that the market is saturated, which is even more trouble for graphics card manufacturers.

Of course, whether or when the production capacity of the semiconductor market is still lacking, TechInsights' point of view is only one aspect, and some people still think that there will be no problem of capacity saturation before 2023-2024.
