Intel’s CEO said something similar, stating that the chip shortage will improve throughout 2022, hopefully creating a stable supply chain by 2023. Nvidia recently said that it expects the GPU shortage to cap off around the middle of 2022. However, there are signs that supply will increase throughout 2022.
Like pricing, I don’t have a GPU crystal ball that spells out where the market is headed. Increased supply Niels Broekhuijsen/Digital Trends Graphics cards may never be as cheap as they once were. Though there are signs of sub-$200 GPUs from AMD and Intel in the future, we don’t have those options. The coronavirus pandemic massively increased the demand for PCs and graphics cards, and that demand hasn’t gone away - even as plenty of people return to the office. Prices will drop at some point, but they may not reach the same levels as before. There’s no way to predict where prices are heading given how the GPU market has been for over a year. I suspect we’ll see a drop in prices at the beginning of the year, a boost around summer, and another dip in the fall (hopefully one that continues dropping). It goes without saying: GPU pricing is a mess, and it will likely remain a mess throughout most of 2022. There are also whispers that AMD could be applying a 10% price increase to its RX 6000 graphics cards. government for an exclusion from these tariffs, but that exclusion hasn’t been granted at the time of publication. Nvidia and other companies have asked the U.S. The cost of components is up in the air, and graphics cards are still subject to a 25% tariff. Now that we’re at the start of 2022, prices are back up again. Prices dropped toward the middle of 2021, showing hopeful signs that the GPU shortage was finally slowing down. But the GPU market isn’t normal right now, and I can’t tell you where GPU prices will go. I’d normally expect GPU prices to drop as generations start to show their age. We may see some special editions, but AMD and Nvidia have stacked mobile line-ups following CES. I don’t suspect we’ll see any more mobile GPUs from Nvidia or AMD, at least not from the current generations. Nvidia says the RTX 3080 Ti mobile is more powerful than a desktop Titan RTX, which is seriously impressive. The RTX 3080 Ti mobile and RTX 3070 Ti will eventually replace the non-Ti models in laptops, and they should offer a sizeable increase in performance. Nvidia only showed off two new mobile GPUs, but they’re good ones. These cards are a counter to Nvidia’s Max-Q offerings, focusing on performance per watt instead of raw performance. AMD brought eight new mobile GPU designs to CES, including the new RX 6000S cards. For the first half of the year, Nvidia and AMD are focused on mobile graphics. That’s it for desktop announcements right now. Nvidia also quietly launched a 12GB variant of the RTX 3080, which was absent from its CES keynote. AMD brought the $199 RX 6500 XT, and Nvidia showed off the $2 and RTX 3090 Ti. Nvidia recently launched a 12GB variant of the RTX 2060 Super, and at CES, Nvidia and AMD came with new desktop announcements. New mobile GPUs from AMD and Nvidia Dan Baker/Digital Trends That said, we’re already in the launch window Intel announced for Arc Alchemist, and we still know very little about the cards. XeSS looks disruptive enough, and as long as the cards perform like rumors suggest they will, we’ll have a third competitor in the ring. It’s been too long that the GPU market has been wrapped up in the AMD and Nvidia rivalry, so I’m looking forward to what Intel can do with Arc Alchemist. It functions similarly to Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), and Intel has announced that Hitman 3, The Riftbreaker, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut will support the feature at launch. Intel has already shared some information about its XeSS upscaling feature that will be included with these graphics cards. The rumor mill says that the flagship card from the range will perform around the level of an RTX 3070, but I’m waiting until Intel shares more. For now, we know about a few laptops - such as the Alienware X17 - with an Arc GPU, but no other details besides that. Intel announced that Arc Alchemist is in over 50 desktops and laptops “coming soon” at CES, but the company didn’t provide details on what cards are in the range, when they’ll arrive, or how much they’ll cost. Rumors suggested Intel would launch the cards at CES, which is kind of true. Why the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti simply isn’t enough for 2023 Nvidia is bringing ChatGPT-style AI to video games, and I’m already worried Nvidia is now worth almost as much as Amazon, and that puts gamers in a tough spot
