Graphics card rose 1000 yuan a day

On July 30, according to CCTV Finance, with the popularity of AI computing power, the global memory chip market is experiencing a serious supply shortage. In Shenzhen Huaqiang North, the price transmission effect is clearly visible. Many merchants in Huaqiangbei said that affected by Nvidia's new round of price increase notices to authorized graphics card manufacturers around the world, the factories of major graphics card brands have now fully implemented the lockdown policy, temporarily stopped external bulk shipments, and the spot supply in full circulation has been tightened rapidly. Visiting a number of installing merchants in Huaqiang North, I learned that due to the inability to ship new goods, existing inventory has become a "scarce resource", and channel merchants are generally reluctant to sell, pushing the price of existing inventory higher. Statistics show that the prices of storage products and graphics cards of Huaqiangbei's mainstream models continue to rise, including: 1TB solid state hard disk 410 yuan in September last year, now 950 yuan, an increase of 132%; 16GDDR5 memory 450 yuan in September last year, now 1850 yuan, an increase of 311%; 32GDDR5 memory 900 yuan in September last year, now 3800 yuan, an increase of 322%; In terms of graphics cards, the RTX5060 rose from 2300 yuan on July 22 to about 3000 yuan, an increase of about 30%; the RTX5080 rose from 8000 yuan on July 22 to about 12000 yuan, an increase of about 50%.
