long term wise the more gpus people buy the better it is for consumers since the prices would be lower as most of their expenses are fixed and not dependant on the number of gpus manufactured (that extends all the way down the supply chain to Taiwan and the Netherlands too)

So yeah, it might (and probably won’t) affect the prices right away, or even the prices for 7900 specifically, but it will be accounted for when they decide on the prices for the next generation

tl;dr rip the third world

I don’t think their plan is to halt or even significantly delay, rather to just make it more expensive and show others not to go against the americas interests
