NVIDIA and AMD Rush to Ship Next-Generation GPUs Ahead of Trump Administration Tariffs

[Nostras]

I could go through your post one by one and decimate it but I don't want to over politicize. There's a reason European PC builds cost more on average vs US builds with the same components.

Surprisingly this isn't quite as true for mid- and low-end like a year in. Prices seem to gravitate more to eachother even including tax. If you're savvy there are some noticeable deals.

I wouldn’t mind having a surplus of supply for a newly launched generation (or almost anything else we would rush to import in bulk) on just the THREAT of a tariff.

My RTX 3090 still has 24GB of VRAM that isn't going anywhere.

I don't have to pay tariff prices for a 5090, I just have to wait out Trump.

It's a FUD frenzy!

Same reason they do in OCE countries, Sales take and Geographical tax.

New Zealand and Australia have at least 15% sales tax on Everything. In a roundabout way it's basically what Trump is doing lol - just without the benefits like universal healthcare

"Sales tax" in Australia is non existent, I think you mean the GST here & it applies to consumer electronics ( & that of course includes computer components) is 10%... BUT there is the sellers markup on top of that & its competitive in this area.. very!
Apart from that & back to the topic here, my view is that computer component manufacturers will be looking for markets to "dump" there product on to & the USA's upcoming tariffs will encourage them to seek other markets & that includes even smaller markets like Australia... anything to move product out asap. That's a view also shared by some economic experts here in Australia at the moment.

Or just have tpu not post them in the first place.
I seriously dislike getting reprimanded for responding to political comments by others.

I said sales tax to make it relatable to the US folk
I'm in New Zealand.

I wouldn't call this a "political" article, it's news. A Political article wouldn't even mention AMD/nvidia.

I share a similar attitude with my RX 7900 XTX factory OC card... unless the RDNA4 cards offer compelling reasons to upgrade but from what I've heard & seen so far that range of cards is only aiming at the mid range... but it would be kind of nice to have a card that doesn't demand 355w TBP without sacrificing performance however I don't see that happening at this point in time. The 5000 series of Nvida cards will be too expensive here in Australia, that's highly predictable in this current economic climate.

True that, but the folks in the good ole' USA should learn more about the rest of the world...

Well to me it don't matter if their $1500 or even 10k not buying anyways as there just not worth it.

 

[theouto]

So we in the EU can expect no supply of those cards. And that will only mean 1 thing for the prices..

on the bright side: the prices can't be high if they do not exist!

Sanctioning imports is basically sanctioning your own civilians, bizarre. We did the same as well, makes no sense. Yes you help exporters, but at the same time you screwing over millions of people so the economy gets no better from it.

Actually, it does. It helps your national companies to become competitive against china where exploiting people poverty by paying them $50 a month, children labour, and disregarding safety rules is allowed.

At first the prices are higher yes, but the economy becomes stronger on the long run, so people are paid more than the increase of prices.
