No, the profits are not in the volume. See the profitability vs. volume of iOS vs. Android. Ultimately, Nvidia charges a lot of mid-range cards because they don't have any competition. If Nvidia did have competition, they could lower the price of their midrange cards to stifle Intel while still profiting on the high end.
- jtriangle 3y agoMidrange cards subsidize the higher end cards because they are often chips that were meant to be a tier or two higher but didn't pass QC at those performance levels. If you take a price hit on that, your entire fab/process is less profitable overall because you're not able to recover as much revenue from less than ideal yield. Intel competing in the midrange is far from a nothingburger.
