While the effects of the pandemic continue on the technology sector, the worldwide economic crisis has increased the prices considerably. For our country, this situation has become even more serious with the increasing exchange rates. However, future hardware prices may reach a much more unattainable point.
Hardware prices will skyrocket with 3 nm production
New graphics cards and processors have reached numbers that are already hard to reach. However, according to the reports, hardware prices will continue to increase in the next year. According to the allegations, TSMC, one of the most important chip manufacturers, will make a significant increase in prices.
The Taiwan-based company plans to make a significant increase in its prices with the 3 nm production process from next year. This situation will have a very negative impact on the prices of high-end graphics cards and processors. Naturally, gamers will also be negatively affected by this situation.
TSMC, which produces chips for brands such as AMD, NVIDIA and Apple, is very strong in this sense. Especially when it comes to the new generation 3 nm manufacturing process, TSMC’s hand is quite strong. While this is the case, TSMC can increase the prices significantly by using this power.
Both AMD and NVIDIA have their backs to TSMC in terms of supply. Price increases were clearly seen in NVIDIA’s new graphics cards, the RTX 40 series. AMD, on the other hand, managed to keep its prices a little lower by using 5 nm and 6 nm technologies in the production process.
However, at the end of the day, both major video card manufacturers are highly dependent on TSMC. With the transition of brands to 3 nm technology in future new hardware, prices will increase significantly. If the developments continue in this way, much more expensive hardware awaits us in the future.
Gathering high-end hardware in computers now seems like a dream. So what do you think about the increasing hardware prices? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
