Cost savings are not reflected in price of consumer gpu, shocking!

Competitor rules

The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

No, it's nonsense. AIBs use their own PCB design. That picture he posted up is showing the PCB that Gainward used in their 4070. Here is a picture of Nvidia's 4070 PCB

Was there no AMD in between?
It's strange to think about its that Nvidia pretty much allows AMD to operate in this market with its high pricing as you said Nvidia could make it much worse for AMD.It's all relative. Jensen would disagree
Probably one of the reasons why AMD are scared of pricing their cards properly. Because Nvidia have bigger margins due to better engineering and could easily leave AMD in a bad situation if they wanted.

5700XT for about 2 weeks.

I honestly don't know why AMD bothers, i think they would be better off as a company bowing out completely.
You have to hedge it the other way
Buy Nvidia shares, and use the profits you make from those shares to buy your next GPU

Let's say Nvidia decides to take $10 billion from its cash reserves and use it to kill amd and Intels GPU business and Nvidia does this by going out there and cutting all its gaming GPU prices in half and sell the cards for near cost of manufacturing, amd and Intel don't follow and they go out of business
What happens then? Nvidia is now a monopoly and it won't take long for the US government to start regulation proceedings
That's why Microsoft did not finish off Apple in the 1990s.
Without Bill Gates throwing a lifeline, there would be no cult of Steve today...

Let me guess, black screen special

Junk ASRock cooler.
Have you seen CPUs? They have like £10 of parts. I bet you don't buy those either.
You aren't paying for "parts" when you buy technology.
It's a defence you've come up with to bash nvidia.
In nearly 20 years of building PCs, I've never had a CPU, GPU, RAM or motherboard fail.

In my 16 years I've had GPUs and RAM fail. GPU's multiple times.

Okay. I have a log of over 200 computer parts, including 47 GPUs (22 ATI/AMD and 25 Nvidia). The only failure I've had was a Corsair AIO and Corsair PSU. I feel my sample size is big enough to form my opinion that computer parts don't routinely fail.

I have only ever had one part failure. GPU artifacting but that's it

Same, 2080Ti and it was a fan problem.

The difference is a GPU comes with its own motherboard and RAM. You should really look at a GPU's PCB in the same way you would a motherboard.
Its GPU's that tend to be the thing that fails.

Nice arbitrary rule.
A GPU's value is in the die and RAM packages and the performance it elicits. Not some PCB components.
If you like overengineered fans and PCBs over actual performance, then you are a AIB marketers dream. Their margin on the actual die and RAM is nothing. Upsell you a fancy fan and 24 power phases? Yes please. Throw in some RGB while we are at it.
