According to reports from South Korean media, AMD and NVIDIA are contemplating discontinuing their entry-level graphics cards. This decision stems from a substantial surge in material costs, primarily driven by the sharp rise in GDDR memory prices. Presently, the world is experiencing a scarcity of DRAM supply, with memory prices escalating dramatically over just a few weeks. This rapid increase has left the supply chain struggling to adapt swiftly. Given that the extensive expansion of data centers has absorbed a significant portion of DRAM production capacity, memory manufacturers are now prioritizing sectors that offer higher returns. Consequently, entry-level consumer graphics cards, which yield minimal profit margins, face the threat of being phased out. Companies like ASUS have indicated that if the DRAM shortage lingers, it could lead to price hikes for consumer electronics devices.
