Chip giants are reportedly considering a significant move. Word is that Nvidia and AMD might be cranking up GPU prices come January, and the numbers are eye-watering. The flagship RTX 5090 could see its price balloon from the current $2,000 to somewhere around $5,000—that's a massive jump. While nothing's confirmed yet, if these price hikes actually happen, it would reshape the economics for GPU-intensive operations across the board. For anyone running high-performance computing workloads or considering hardware upgrades, this timing matters. Keep an eye on official announcements from both camps in the coming weeks.

Really? 5090 from 2000 to 5000? This liquidation price needs to be recalculated... --- Wait, if this price increase is real, systemic risk will come. --- The health factor for GPUs was already precarious, and another hit like this... the dominoes will start to fall. --- Miners with maxed-out borrowing rates are really going to be forced out now. --- Risk control thresholds need to be lowered; otherwise, we'll see a series of liquidations in January. --- 2000 to 5000? This isn't a price increase; it's a harvest of the leeks. --- Hardware costs have skyrocketed, and the economics of high-performance computing are breaking down. Volatility will only surge upward.
