If history's any record, this will be another paper launch, meaning unless you are extremely good at snatching up the limited stock, you won't get your hands on a next-gen GPU for a good while.
- WithinReason 5y agoNvidia pre-booked large capacity from TSMC for this launch, and hopefully AMD did too.

It all got snatched up by the crypto miners directly at the factory. Since crypto prices are falling and ETH moves to POS, the situation might reverse substantially. According to Jon Peddie Research, the combined number of desktop GPUs sold by AMD & NVidia: Q3/2019 ~10,5 M Q4/2019 ~11,8 M Q1/2020 ~9,5 M Q2/2020 ~10,1 M Q3/2020 11,5 M Q4/2020 11,0 M Q1/2021 11,8 M Q2/2021 11,47 M Q3/2021 12,72 M
