I'm interested in the APUs. We know what a Rembrandt desktop APU (12 CUs aka Radeon 680M) would look like, with performance in the ballpark of a GTX 1050 Ti. It's only going up from there with Phoenix and Strix Point. If you only care about 1080p, you probably won't need a GPU soon.

GPUs, on the other hand, are saddled with other materials: PCB, VRAM, capacitors, resistors, VRM, heatsink, fan, power connector, outputs, etc. So they receive less margin from these parts trying to fit it all in an MSRP while a CPU does not have such baggage. These other components are also in shortage, which is causing to drive the price increase along with shipping price hikes. There's no way they could drive up the financials like the server processors could unless they dramatically increased GPU volume, which doesn't match the reality we are seeing.Last edited by gentoofu; 03 February 2022, 08:18 PM.

Now, that's just the list price. I'm sure big OEMs and hyperscalers pay much less. However, when AMD is selling every one they can make, probably before the chips are even fabbed, that should give them more leverage over pricing.
