In its latest report, market research firm Jon Peddie Research (JPR) noted that more than 3 million GPUs were sold to crypto currency miners last year. According to them, the total sales of these cards have reached 776 million dollars, it is expected that the prices of graphic cards this year will not decrease.
The study covers the data of the three main producers AMD, Nvidia and Intel. Recently, AMD semiconductor company in the United States admits that because customers buy a large amount of their dragon extraction radio card, resulting in an insufficient supply. According to the news, Bitcoin.com reported that the company plans to continue increasing production.
NVIDIA, AMD's main rival, acknowledges that miners were surpassing their graphics card needs in the last quarter of 2017. To ensure that players can buy, the company asked retailers to limit the number of graphics cards sold. every time. Miners often buy the latest wholesale GPU, with a left.
Jen-Hsun Huang, executive director of NVIDIA, said the company is working to solve the supply problem. It is reported that NVIDIA can announce a new "Turing Card" specifically for mining. Because Bitcoin needs more powerful and specialized hardware, GPUs are mainly used to dig competitive currencies like Ethereum and Monroe.
The president of the market research agency said:
"The gaming industry will continue to be the main driver of GPU sales, and cryptocurrency mining is an important complement."
Dr. Jon Peddie predicts that with the increase in utility costs, supplies will decrease as profit margins decline, so that GPU prices will increase as a result of low supply. He also said that players can offset these costs through mining without playing games.
According to some media reports, NVIDIA also said that GPU prices will continue to rise in 2018. Massdrop said manufacturers expect graphics prices to continue to rise in the third quarter of this year.
