Leaks indicate that the PCB has 14 layers with a 512-bit memory bus. It also has 32GB of GDDR7 memory and the die size is expected to be huge. This is all expensive. Would you prefer that they had not made the card and instead made a lesser card that was cheaper to make to avoid the higher price? That is the AMD strategy and they have lower prices.
- simondotau 2y agoThat PCB is probably a few dollars per unit. The die is probably the same as the one in the 5070. I've no doubt it's an expensive product to build, but that doesn't mean the price is cost plus markup.
- ryao 2y agoCurrently, the 5070 is expected to use the GB205 die while the 5090 is expected to use the GB202 die: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070.c4218 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070.c4218 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5090.c4216 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5090.c4216 It is unlikely that the 5070 and 5090 share the same die when the 4090 and 4080 did not share same die. Also, could an electrical engineer estimate how much this costs to manufacture: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pcb-leak-reveals-massive-gb202-gpu-package https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pcb-leak...
