US to put 25% tariffs on dGPUs,motherboards,PSUs and other components made in China

[Hotwired]

Give it a sec, we'll get the same pricing here because US pricing + VAT no matter what.

reports suggest its just a bragaining chip for trump, remote chance of being actually implemented

Can't see it happening either

Trumps latest policy is a 60% tariff on Chinese manufacturing and 10% tariff on all other countries

This is estimated to increase the price of computer parts, TVs, phones etc by up to 50%

Everyone will just assume all the brands have matched Asus in pricing

Non-issue in any case. Hey, my name is Jensen and I'd like an exemption 'cos stuff. US govn: okay.

I mean, Jensen will just go have lunch with Elon who will in turn whisper into Trumps ear while they snuggle and all will be resolved, not for AMD though they are EVIL.

I can actually see that happening.

So a £550 card now becomes £688, nice.... more price inflation, just what we need, while we are at it maybe Rachel can find another £22 bn black hole to blame on the Tory's and push the tax burden up past 40% because now we are all accelerationists on this house of cards coming down.

i feel prices may be higher because of government downsizing in us as the usd is expected to strengthen significantly even if trump achieves 50% of his targets on govt efficiency, thats going to a much bigger driver for local prices, cant they launch it any sooner?
