As per a report, NVIDIA has stopped bundling its GPU dies with VRAM chips to its AIBs and wants them to source the memory on their own.

Good. Great. Amazing.

$1,000 RAM prices and now GPUs are also going to become unaffordable.

I must have blinked and missed when they were affordable.

This could screw over some smaller board partners. They might not have the deals in place to secure the RAM chips they need.

It’s embarassing how absolutely shit the GPU market is, I’ve lost any hope. I felt the same way with CPUs not too long ago before Ryzen but now the CPU market is vastly more interesting to follow, GPUs are just stale.

Wasn’t this all happening because Nvidia bought all the supply

They’ve gotta save that supply to feed the AI bubble, though.

…I wonder what it would take for Intel to get in the memory business.

Or GloFo? WTF are the euro fabs doing these days?

Bring back Optane! I’m still using a couple PCIe cards in raid as my boot drive on my home server. The RAM versions of Optane were quite interesting too.

Probably the end of many, if not all, third party vendors.

Is this only going to affect graphics cards or is this going to also bottleneck gpus for servers and high end workstations?

High end workstation is the same silicon/memory as gaming cards.

They’re presumably “saving” it for the high margin server GPUs, under the presumption that memory makers will allocate more production to HBM.
