Chapter 262 The price of graphics cards has increased
After arranging these things, Xu Li returned home.
As soon as I walked in, I saw my brother sighing there.
"What's wrong? Why do you have to live and die? Could it be that you were abandoned by some little girl?"
Xu Li chuckled.
Xu Xiaoming, my younger brother, finished the college entrance examination this year and was admitted to Yangyuan, one of the eight colleges of fine arts in China. School will officially start in a week.
It can be regarded as fulfilling his college dream. After all, this boy has loved drawing since he was a child. When the two brothers were together, he always said that he would draw more amazing Chinese comics.
Now that I have been admitted to university, this first step is considered a success.
Originally, Xu Li's father wanted to consider sending Xiao Ming to study abroad, but Xu Li rejected it.
First of all, the security environment abroad is not as stable as at home. Is it necessary to fight every day?
Furthermore, my mother is also afraid that if he goes abroad to study badly, it will be bad if he gets into drugs or something.
Recently, my mother has also been watching videos and found this kind of stuff. She was very scared when she saw so many drug addicts abroad.
And Xu Li didn't want him to study abroad. The main reason was to let him settle in China first, so as not to start wandering outside without learning anything.
"Brother, the game notebook I have been thinking about has been robbed."
Xu Xiaoming replied.
"I thought it was no big deal. If this one is gone, I'll just switch to another one."
But Xu Xiaoming curled his lips. "Brother, you don't understand. The gaming laptop I want has certain configuration requirements. It's not just for playing games, it also needs to be used for drawing. This kind of computer requires memory and a graphics card.
And the processing core requirements are relatively high, so I am interested in INVISTA’s latest RTX4080 graphics card notebook. There are also domestic notebook brands that support this graphics card, but they are all out of stock.”
After all, if you study art, it’s okay if you just need general painting software. It doesn’t matter if you buy one with a slightly lower configuration. However, when it comes to 3D rendering of animations, it’s very configuration-intensive.
"Then you got it soon after switching to Su Ma's? I remember that the performance of their graphics card is also good!"
Xu Li was stunned.
"But it's also out of stock. Not only Lao Huang's family but also Su's mother, the price of mid-to-high-end graphics cards has begun to rise across the board. Don't you know the news? And my mother also restricts me from spending money randomly. I
The budget is only 8,000,"
After saying this, Xu Xiaoming pouted dissatisfiedly.
"I bet you don't have the money to cry with me? That's okay, I'll give you some financial support. You can buy whatever you want with 50,000 yuan. It can be regarded as a celebration gift for you to get into college!"
Xu Li chuckled.
"Really? Then transfer it to me quickly!"
Xu Xiaoming's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his mobile phone and showed the QR code.
Xu Li: "..."
This guy...
"You'd better send me your bank card number, and I'll have someone transfer it to you now. After all, Weixin's QR code transfers also have limits."
"Okay!"
Xu Xiaoming took out his bank card for planting flowers, and Xu Li asked Xiao Heimei to transfer a sum of money to him from his small vault.
When Xu Xiaoming received the credit message, he immediately cheered and ran back to his room.
Xu Li shook his head helplessly.
At the same time, I asked Xiaohei about the price increase of graphics cards through his mobile phone.
"Xiao Hei, help me search for the price increase of graphics cards at home and abroad."
Soon, Xiao Hei searched and sorted out the data and told him through the speaker.
"Principal, the current price increase of INVISTA's public version of high-end graphics cards is close to 5k soft coins, and the non-public version is close to 6k soft coins. The price of graphics cards has increased by more than 100% in four months. According to its spokesperson, it is a strategic adjustment.
AMD's price increase exceeded 80% in the same month, mainly due to production capacity adjustments."
After listening to Xiao Hei's report and looking at the news displayed on his mobile phone, he fell into deep thought.
Nowadays, only Lao Huang and Su Ma have the right to speak in the mainstream of graphics cards. They can be said to dominate the world. If the prices of these two graphics cards are slightly adjusted, it will inevitably affect the prices of graphics cards around the world.
Moreover, many graphics cards are used for mining, but there are many mining cards on the market, which makes the prices of pure cards that are not sent to the mines even higher.
Whether they are players or computer enthusiasts at home and abroad, they are all poisoned by Lao Huang!
Suddenly an idea came to him, and he immediately made a call to Wang Dalong.
Perhaps, nanoimprint technology can be used in this regard in combination with super-volume memory to create your own high-performance graphics card. This is also a good development path.
Recent
Because of the news that global graphics card prices have increased across the board, countless players have cursed and greeted Lao Huang's eighteenth generation ancestors over and over again.
"AMDB550M motherboard is only 899 now! Follow the store and you can get a 20 yuan discount!"
"RTX 4080Ti non-mining card, I have never tried mining it! Now we are the only one who has the goods. Now you can get it for only 13500!"
"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, if you miss this village, there won't be this store!"
"Open Pinxixi now, enter our black card password, and get another fifty yuan discount. What are you waiting for?"
The anchor in the live broadcast room was talking to the camera, talking nonsense and spitting.
Lin Yifan was a little moved.
He is also a game enthusiast and has a need for graphics cards.
Especially for the needs of some high-configuration graphics cards.
The graphics card was originally just an ordinary computer part.
However, due to profiteers and craze, high-end graphics cards are priced at tens of thousands of dollars, often with no market value.
At the beginning, Lao Huang boasted quite well that the graphics card was specially designed for gaming.
Now the graphics cards are all working illegally in the mining industry, and they have all turned into slag.
It has long been born for mining!
"Protruding (艹艹)"
But seeing the anchor working hard to promote, he was very confused.
After all, his budget is not very sufficient. If he buys it, he will have nothing to do but eat dirt next month.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But if you don’t buy it, the price of this graphics card changes rapidly, and it will rise several times when you wake up tomorrow.
Basically, supply exceeds demand.
For this reason, players are quite complaining.
At this moment, Lin Yifan hopes that China can also produce its own domestic high-power graphics card!
You don’t have to look at other people’s faces to live your life.
It is not that there are no companies in China that make graphics cards, but the performance of those graphics cards is not very good, and many of them are authorized by major international graphics card manufacturers.
The rate of independence and complete domestic production are still very low.
But what is gratifying is that in terms of memory, after the emergence of Suiren Technology's super memory some time ago, the global memory chip and memory market prices have dropped significantly.
Especially the memory chips from overseas companies have been greatly reduced in price.
This allowed him to buy a lot of memory sticks at low prices, and he also used the saved money to spend on other aspects.
"It would be great if Suiren Technology could make graphics cards."
Lin Yifan sighed.
However, he knows that this wish is impossible. No one has said that they will enter the graphics card business, and it is estimated that they will not be involved in this field for some time in the future.
Just when he was struggling, his friend called him:
"Yifan, don't rush to buy a graphics card first, wait for a while."
"Why?"
Lin Yifan felt a little inexplicable.
"Let me tell you, according to the rumor, Suiren Technology seems to be entering the field of graphics cards."
"Really? Are you just entertaining me?"
Lin Yifan's eyes widened with an incredible expression.
"Why should I lie to you? I have a relative who works at Suiren Technology. It is said that the company recently acquired a large integrated circuit manufacturing factory..."
After listening to his friend's words, Lin Yifan was shocked.
Is it really possible to make a graphics card?
After the two discussed on the phone for a while, Lin Yifan decided to wait for a while.
