The 300,000 new graphics core should return to Nvidia's factories from one of the key manufacturers. He pointed out to the Seeking Alpha server that the reason is simple, new graphics are not interested.
Nvidia is the world's largest graphics chip maker. You buy from this company other companies that further improve and sell under their own brand. Chips from Nvidia can be bought in this way from brands such as Asus, MSI, Sapphire, EVGA or Gigabyte.
But this is the buried dog, because one of the big manufacturers - probably one of the companies mentioned above - has decided to return the chips because of lack of interest from customers.
And it's definitely not a small job. The above-mentioned 300,000 graphics, at the current average price, represent a canceled order of $ 30 million, or almost 670 million crowns.
gold fever
Information that graphics card sales have been betting lately has emerged last month. It may be a golden rush around cyber currencies.
The cryptographic mining is mainly used for the specific computational power of the graphics cards, which during the cryptomania have greatly undermined, and the market for these components is thus somewhat deformed. Manufacturers were trying to produce life, but it still was not enough.
The problem, however, occurred at the turn of the year when the value of bitcoins and other virtual currencies dramatically dropped so much that they did not pay much for cyber exchanges. And, logically, the demand for graphics cards dropped hand in hand.
Thus, the warehouses of individual manufacturers are currently overcrowded with last year card models, which is likely to bring about the arrival of newer models.
