I never said the first holidays....you realize a lot of people just don't buy anything full priced regardless of what the price is right? why do you think sales always spike for any console when there's a bundle/deal/holidays. There's always going to be people that wait it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It should also be borne in mind that the quoted reference prices are for a purchase quantity of 2,000 units, graphics card manufacturers are likely to buy significantly larger quantities and thus receive the components cheaper. 3dcenter.org estimates the possible discount on 20 to 40 percent and we would also like to point out once again that the following data are estimates. From the prices quoted, it can be calculated that total storage costs only about $ 35-45 (GDDR5) or $ 55-75 (GDDR6) for say 8GB GiB. Doubling the amount of storage to 16 GiB would also double the purchase cost, so the storage would cost around $ 70- $ 90 or $ 110-150. Cost factors such as assembly and even the more complex boards are not taken into account. Dude... nobody is paying $500+ for 20GB of memory.. how could they even do business like that on this scale? They couldn't which is the point, it's still new, it's a 70% cost surplus over GDDR5. I mean lynx already did the basic math more or less. $88 for 8GB's of GDDR5, divide that $88 by 8 and you come up with $11 per GB, add 70% which is $18.70 per 1GB module then multiply that by 20, that right there is $374.

We're talking hundreds of thousands or even millions of chips... at that point you're only downfall is yield. Sony is not paying $300 for memory. And they sure as fuck aren't using GDDR5X or HBM. Another thing you haven't looked at is what is SK and Samsung pricing these chips at? Micron has always been historically more expensive. Sony uses Samsung memory. Until we see what component is being used we won't know how much they're paying or at least get a rough ideal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats... you did basic math to figure out cost per GB.... for a single GPU. You're completely glossing over the fact that GPU manufacturers don't pay full price per chip... they purchase in bulk. 2000 units is the absolute minimum, and that is the price per 2000 units. Buying 1 million or 2-3 million is going to be significantly cheaper. Stop being completely fucking stupid, please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,670 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Oh and look the article Dyno sourced was based on bad info Quote So, first they publish an article in which they've used a trusted and well-known distributor as a source of current prices, and then.... how do I put it mildly... they f#$% it up by taking someone's word for granted on their forum an do a complete "sensational" rewrite of the article in which the price difference has been inflated from 20 to 70%. The rest of the article is irrelevant because their analysis is based on bad numbers. Quote The main thing in this article is a consistent flow of brown bullshit. 70% is ridiculous. Just by going to Digikey and verifying prices can shed some light: 1) Micron 8Gbit GDDR5 1.5GHz : $18.50 2) Micron 8Gbit GDDR6 1.5GHz : $22.25 (+20%) 3) Micron 8Gbit GDDR6 1.75GHz : $23.58 (+27%) LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The relevant data in the article is pulled from direct wholesale purchasing from Micron. RIP You, you faggos are trying so hard to not be wrong lol.

LOL First you were at $500+... then you were $300+... and now you're still trying to say it's 70% cost surplus over GDDR5, while still not taking into consideration that your numbers have ALL been based off of cost per 2000 units... which doesn't hold true for purchases in the millions of units. You're fucking delusional. Yes... the chips are more expensive than GDDR5.. no shit. Yes... RAM is a significant portion of the cost of the system... No... it is not as expensive as you were trying to make it out to be. Now chill the fuck out And don't get me wrong... I'm not saying those specs aren't a bit on the wishful thinking side... I'm not expecting 24GB of RAM and 12-14TF... so yea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I said $527 based upon that wholesale purchase, then based off of what lynux said using his number with the cost surplus applied even then it would be $374. Get your facts straight. What are you expecting? They're going to halve the cost of their memory if the orders go into the millions? That's not how shit works, they might get a contractual discount of 10% or something but what you guys are hoping for is blind delusional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, you said "this is what it costs" then after lynux posted, you're saying.. "ok, this is what it would cost"... and you're basing it off of the wholesale price... which manufacturers of products on this scale don't fucking pay. 10% off for millions of units?

No, you're a fucking liar. My post is still on this very page and you're trying to spin it. Fucking off yourself. Yes 10% for millions, at $20+ per module that's over $2.00 savings per unit. That's a huge dig into Micron, or Hynix, or Samsung etc. It doesn't matter who, you are expecting way too much... 42 minutes ago, DynamiteCop! said: They couldn't which is the point, it's still new, it's a 70% cost surplus over GDDR5.

I said more or less for a very specific purpose, the GDDR5 Sony used isn't fast, and it's not very expensive. Not all GDDR5 is the same... Edited February 11, 2019 by DynamiteCop!
