Best CPU/GPU pair

Unlikely, the failure rate at Samsung is much higher than at TSMC. Samsung agreed to foot the bill for Nvidia but wastage is still wastage no matter how you look at it.

Nvidia just wanted to strong arm TSMC down to Samsung prices. Availability at TSMC wasn’t the really the issue. Nvidia are now paying for that since most of their products are tied up in mine mining facilities.

Nvidia are not paying for anything, look at their last 3 quarterly results it's clear business is booming and their margin is up as they got the silicon cheaper from Samsung than they otherwise would at TSMC.

Also if the silicon failure rates are that high then why have cards like the 3090 been much more common than the 3080 and the same can be said about the 3070 vs 3060ti.

Because cards like the 3090 are much less appealing to miners and a lesser extent gamers. Nvidia are in a very precarious position. AMD have caught them up in the high end and it looks as if Intel will be pushing the value market right upto the midrange.

3070 and 3060 are out of stock everywhere. Across the length of the supply chain. Even Nvidia with its massively unfair advantage in the chain can’t supply its customers. Not
To mention the number of employees that are jumping ship.

The trouble is AMD charge more than Nvidia for cards with less performance and worse features so I doubt Nvidia are worrying as they have the margin in hand to slash prices if AMD even does overtake them.

How much are Nvidia changing for a RTX2060, 2080 super again?

AMD have caught Nvidia performance and in some ways AMD have beat Nvidia. Nvidia’s biggest marketing metric was power consumption. AMD have jumped ahead. In a single generation, just think about that as sign of intention.

Nvidia are actually on par in power consumption and with a worse process node, it's only the high power draw of the GDDR6X on the top end cards which makes Nvidia look worse.

If you look at cards both using just GDDR6 like the 6700XT and 3070 the 3070 is slightly faster while also using slightly less power.

The 6700XT is powering 33% more VRAM. 8gb vs 12gb and still pulls 12watts less power in typical gaming use.
