Don’t these new GPU’s need to be bought by the datacenters? Where do you think they will push to cost to? Can one 5090 do more than 2x 3090? It sure as hell going to cost twice as much.

You have to think how much faster this new chip is, and whether it is fast enough to justify the cost. Gone are the days of moore’s law when transistors could double every 2 years.

We need more production capacity to bring down cost, not a slightly faster gpu

There are limits tho, there’s a general trend of diminishing returns. Moore’s law is no longer applicable.

My point is that we want more innovation is production capacity, these new innovations are mostly for making money. What the company wants is to say “look at our new shiny thing its 10% better than previous gen but it will cost you 50% more than last gen, also last gen is deprecated”.

All of this is motivated by the drive to make more money for the producers, not to help the enduser.

What’s the point? Its just stupid numbers. GPU’s will get more and more expensive to justify these tech “advances”.

We have known how to make these GPU’s, the problem isn’t how to make them smaller and smaller but how do we make more of them.

Gamers can’t buy it to play, 3d artists can’t buy it for rendering, even AI enthusiasts can’t buy it to run local models. These news just feel like these people are living in their own bubble.
