uutinen ei povaa hyvää tuleville halppis ampereille. Tiivistettynä bill of materials on todella tingitty, etenkin jäähdytyksen osalta. Eli MSRP hinnat ei tule toteutumaan, ellei Nvidia korota MSRP:tä, tai tingi marginaaleistaan.
"Currently, NVIDIA’s goal to hit an MSRP of $250 to $300 is predicated on the usage of a GPU heatsink-fan that costs between $4 and $5."
"Cooling factories think that the price of $4 to $5 isn’t realistic for a dual-fan GPU cooler unless removing the backplate, reducing the fin density significantly, reducing the heatpipe count or removing them, using less copper, and using cheaper thermal interfaces."
"We then looped-back with the partners with our new information, and were told that they’d have to offer mail-in rebates to hit NVIDIA MSRP targets for the 2060-class replacement at present. This is because MIRs have a redemption rate of 30-40%, and so a $20 MIR really is only reducing the effective global cost of the card by $7 per unit, not $20 per unit.
Ultimately, it sounds like tricks will have to be played with MDF and rebates in order to hit MSRP. We’ll have to follow-up after the launch to see if NVIDIA ended up changing its pricing to benefit the partners, and thus make it possible for partners to hit MSRP without MSRP just being an unattainable goal. AIBs told us that, worst case, they’d make short-lived models to hit MSRP and then switch only to the better products.
“If we sold only that, we’d be bankrupt,” one told us, saying that the current guidelines from NVIDIA are not realistic."
