Affected by the mining, graphics card market over the past year can be said that a feather, everywhere out of stock, high prices, so that ordinary consumers suffering.
Of course, GPU and graphics card makers can choose to increase output to meet demand and make more profits. However, the key point is that the demand for mining is not stable, and when may have collapsed, so the situation will inevitably result in a serious backlog of inventory. The consequences Unable to imagine.
QA quarterly quarterly financial conference in AMD, some analysts have raised this issue to AMD, wondering how to solve.
AMD said it is working hard to boost its GPU production capacity, but GPU production is not a problem at the moment. Foundry (TSMC) is fully operational, but the shortage is video memory, as is the industry, GDDR5 or HBM.
AMD said it will continue to work with video memory vendors to address this issue, which is inevitably one of AMD's 2018 priorities.
This statement touches well before the market news coincides, memory for a long time into a shortage, and even led to AMD, NVIDIA variety of graphics prices to varying degrees.
Looks like this year to buy a cheaper video card is still not easy ah.
GDDR5
