IMO if they released a mid level performer workstation card with 48-64GB of VRAM for a reasonable price (my understanding is standard GDDR6 is not overly expensive), say under $1k usd, they would not only fly off the shelves, but they would also gain OSS efforts improving popular packages. Products like the NVIDIA A6000 are so insanely overpriced, I’m still baffled why larger VRAM cards haven’t come out more competitive.

Wasn't it obvious? At TSMC you'll pay 20 per square inch of silicon(number I made up for exemplification), would you rather a) print a GPU on it and sell it to consumers for $800 or b) print an AI accelerator on it and sell it to datacenters for $8000? It's really that simple. What company you know that says no to making more money?
