>So the optimal strategy for NVidia is to shred those redundant silicon dies? Potentially, yes. Dumping their current inventory at the market-clearing price might badly affect demand for their next generation of products and damage their relationship with board partners. Lower GPU prices from Nvidia will barely trickle down to customers due to the rising cost of GDDR memory and the fixed cost of all other aspects of AIB manufacturing. Constraining supply to keep prices close to list might be frustrating for consumers, but it's probably in the long-term interests of Nvidia and their board partners, especially considering the weak competition from AMD.
