    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

      Smaller transistors means more processors per silicon wafer… litterally increasing production and driving cost down.
