Instead of being able to sell their inventory right now for obscene amounts of money, they will have to wait and sell it slower to smaller markets with the danger of prices falling until they sold everything.
They are still feeling the burn from the mining bubble and being stuck with huge inventories of aging cards.

I can't tell if this article was paid for by Nvidia/AMD or China.

Nvidia and AMD fairly clearly do not give a damn about national security.

why don't they just sell cheaper 16GB cards that people want to buy? I want a 3 fan 16GB midrange card that doesn't look like trash for 600 without getting robbed further. Is that so difficult? The 9070 sold out in 10 minutes and these corpos are death gripping their golden goose.

These companies are so used to abusive greed for years with no competition and no rules, that when it may finally happen, they’re fake crying…

Boohoo, I won’t be able to sell my chips 200x their production cost to desperate customers and our competitors at the other end of the world will have an opportunity of beating us because they show competitive products, it’s unfairrrrrr.

Seriously….?

Well, as a company you can't just say YOLO we see if we can pay when the time comes....
They have to plan out for at least one quarter, preferably much more.

Yeah, I have no care how AMD or NVIDIA feel. The tariffs are just a power move anyhow. No one will beat out America. Everyone needs us whether they like it or not.
