Graphics Cards Vendors Increase Orders in Wake of Expected Mining Sales Increase
DigiTimes is reporting that graphics cards vendors and AIB (add-in board partners) to both AMD and NVIDIA are increasing their orders for GPUs. Citing sources from the upstream supply chain, the report says that the reason for this is an expected increase in sales due to higher demand for cryptocurrency mining workloads. Most cryptocurrencies are mined on GPUs today, and there are miners that leverage both AMD and NVIDIA's architectures for increased mining performance. Whereas before mining was somewhat of a strictly AMD business, NVIDIA's architectures have also been developed for in most recent cryptocurrency mining efforts, which means that no one manufacturer is the sole source of mining GPUs.
As such, and counting on continued economic support for current cryptocurrency pricing (or even increase), Asustek, Gigabyte Technology, Micro-Star International (MSI), TUL, Colorful and Galaxy Microsystems have increased their orders from respective manufacturing partners. Since graphics cards pricing has stabilized and even decreased somewhat in recent weeks from their selling points just some months ago, this might mean that we'll finally see some graphics card models from both AMD and NVIDIA finally being retailed for their MSRP again. However, demand for mining-efficient GPUs is expected to increase alongside cryptocurrency value, so don't take this increased supply for granted - demand could spike at any moment, and with little warning.

Maybe I just don't understand them.....
Sounds to me like they're talking out of one side of their mouth, and feeding us bullshit out their ass saying that yields and supply and demand blah blah blah what a bunch of Pricks.
I just hope new ASIC miners are made for etherium sooner or later, so the GPU mining craze finally dies down again. I want a bigger GPU, but refuse to pay ridiculous prices for them.
The people who get most benefit out of crypto are also those that control the world. So the madness will just continue and you will not see it getting banned anytime soon.
Did crime just start happening when bitcoin was invented.
And that Last bits totally opposite to the truth.
Crypto used as a medium for trading illegal materials, or sending money abroad to "certain" organisations while bypassing securities aren't something new at all.
Do you really believe that major powers in the world are actually run by the politicians? Anyway I'd say no more.
since crypto's have maybe 1% of the worlds finance, even _IF_ 100% of crypto's would be in illegal activities, it would be less then the fiat currencies. so please use brian instead of a FUD generator plix plox.
