According to prices on various Indian retailers, and more widely, around the world, GPU prices have started falling when compared to the past few weeks. And there is still more to come – prices of some popular graphics cards are still over 25% more than the maximum retail prices set by the manufacturers. Lending further credence to this observation is that Asus has announced a reduction of up to 25% in the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of its graphics cards, after the US government lifted a 25% tariff on graphics cards imported from China, suggesting that we could be looking at a worldwide decline in GPU prices soon. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style:

type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="graphics-card-prices" source="Orion">graphics card prices</keyword> is that the lockdown measures are being eased up across the globe, removing the supply chain issues and bringing supply chain costs down. The issues being faced by the cryptocurrency market have also contributed to the reduction of GPU prices as decreasing profits have made it less attractive for crypto miners to invest in purchasing graphics cards. As per a <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gpu-supply-hopes-grow-as-abf-substrate-shortages-reportedly-ease?utm_campaign=socialflow&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com">report</a> by Tom’s Hardware, Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF) substrate, which has been facing shortages since 2020 have finally started to ease up. The ABF substrate shortage is expected to recede after mid-2022, helping boost the production of graphics cards. One of the major reasons for this is that manufacturers have Unimicron and NanYa are building additional factories to meet the increased demand. The prices of graphics cards are expected to further come down in the coming months. So, if you have been waiting to get your hands on a GPU, you just need to wait for some more time.

The lead plaintiff of the lawsuit is the Construction Laborers Pension Trust of Greater St. Louis, filed on behalf of other Intel investors.Unlike many of its rivals, Intel designs and manufactures chips through its foundry factories. The decision helped Intel tentatively win a $8.5 billion federal grant through the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chips-act-bill-to-boost-us-chipmaking-competition-with-china-2022-7">CHIPS Act</a>.According to the lawsuit, the company told investors that this in-house model will allow Intel to save "$8 to $10 billion exiting 2025."But the move turned out to be much more costly than investors anticipated, the complaint said."Unbeknownst to investors, however, Intel's foundry business was floundering, costing billions of dollars more than investors had been led to believe even while revenue growth in the division actually declined during the Class Period," the lawsuit said, referring to the period from January 25 to August 1, 2024.The lawsuit accused Intel, along with its CEO and CFO, of making false and misleading statements that "artificially inflated" the company's stock price.A spokesperson for Intel declined to comment.Shareholders in the lawsuit highlighted statements from defendants that they say showed the "purported success" of the company's business units, including the foundry model.One statement came from a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1672/intel-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial">January 2024 press release</a> from Zinsner, who said: "We continued to drive operational efficiencies in the fourth quarter, and comfortably achieved our commitment to deliver $3 billion in cost savings in 2023. We expect to unlock further efficiencies in 2024 and beyond as we implement our new internal foundry model, which is designed to drive greater transparency and accountability and higher returns on our owners' capital."Shareholders alleged in the lawsuit that these were "materially false and misleading" statements that failed to disclose that "Intel's foundry business was suffering from ballooning costs and required substantially more capital expenditures than investors had been led to believe and, as a result, had suffered $7 billion in losses in 2023."James Park, a securities regulation expert at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Business Insider email that the lawsuit contained a fairly "standard set of allegations." "Intel will probably argue that the claim there would be cost savings was a forward-looking statement," he said, which is protected by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act's safe harbor provision.

It is available in 3 colours eclipse grey, electro-punk and a volt green. The one I’m using for the past few weeks is eclipse grey and I must say it looks very good for a gaming laptop. The matrix dot pattern and exterior RGB lightning bring character and uniqueness to the laptop. The ASUS ROG Strix G17 is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 6000-series APU based on the 6nm process. To enhance your gaming experience ASUS has packed it with the latest RTX series GPU from Nvidia. It has 17-inches QHD display with 240Hz refresh rate. With over two weeks of usage, I can safely say that the premium laptop is ideal for gaming, streaming, video editing and multitasking. Of course, it does come at a premium price, so it’s better to consider all the important factors before investing. Read on the review as I make it easier for you to decide if this is the machine you need. Asus ROG Strix G17 performance overview <div type="image" title="ROG Strix" msid="91010656" hostid="261"></div>The ROG model which I received for review is powered by AMD Ryzen 6000 R9-6900HX. It is one of the most powerful CPUs you can get in this price segment. You also get a dedicated graphic card — Nvidia RTX 3070Ti which is just the cherry on the top. All these high-end specifications make it a gaming powerhouse. I have played graphically demanding games and Ryzen 9 has done a good job so far. The G17 has 4800MHz of DDR5 RAM which means you get lower lag, faster processing, higher transfer speed, and increased performance while playing heavy games or in general usage. <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011794" hostid="261"></div>Furthermore, it comes with the Asus Armoury Crate app which is loaded with a bunch of features like quick system performance adjustments such as CPU &amp; GPU performance, noise reduction, energy-saving, and cooling adjustment. By using the app you can use five different modes — Windows, Silent, Performance, Turbo, and Manual. Windows mode: In this mode, the laptop works according to Windows operating system giving an ideal performance. Silent Mode: The fan will keep on low speed for noise reduction, but the performance will be limited. Performance Mode: The performance is a balance between silent and turbo. Turbo Mode: This mode keeps high performance, but remember it is only available in charging mode. The fan noise in turbo mode is skyrocketed as CPU and GPU give peak performance. I only used this mode with heavy games like Days Gone and GTA 5. Manual Mode: If you want to adjust the CPU and GPU performance accordingly then Manual mode is perfect. <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91010988" hostid="261"></div> Armoury Crate also allows you to set customizable hotkeys. It also includes Aura wallpaper which turns the entire laptop into an RGB device. You can set exclusive wallpaper and set up RGB lighting according to mood and gaming atmosphere. Design and build <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011129" hostid="261"></div> There is a lot to talk about the design. It has a design that screams out that it’s a gaming laptop, and that’s done quite well. The laptop looks bold and vibrant when you first see it. The ROG backlit logo and the dot matrix pattern on the aluminium lid make this laptop eye-catching. To give it a distinctive appearance, Asus has added a coloured armour cap and rubber foot at the bottom, which not only looks good but also keeps it stable on a platform. The Strix G17 is wrapped with an under-glow light bar that can be customized according to users' preference. The Aura SYNC provides a selection of preset lighting patterns which allows you to create a unique light settings. Aura SYNC facilitates the synchronization with other RGB peripherals and even with the new ROG Aura wallpapers. Coming to exterior, aluminium is used in the lid cover along with a mix of plastic. The black and dark-grey area around the touchpad will show smudges easily while gaming, which means you have to clean it constantly. The build quality is sturdy but it is very hefty. While that’s a common trait on gaming laptops, it’s still something that may bother some users who have to carry their laptops for long. <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011313" hostid="261"></div> The slim 4.5mm side bezels and 85% screen-to-body ratio gives uninterrupted gaming visuals. The rubber foot below provides great stability when pressing keys aggressively. In addition, it comes with dedicated hotkeys and a large touchpad which is pretty smooth to touch and allows seamless control. Display The 2022 G17 comes with 2K IPS display that supports up to 240Hz refresh rate. The screen has a maximum brightness of 300nits which is decent while gaming but is just average in day light. The G17 2022 also comes with 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut that aims to enhance colour grading, accuracy and tone, which does appear in real life usage. It’s among the best displays on a gaming laptop. The bezels on the sides of the laptop are pretty thin as a result, it lacks a webcam. But I personally feel it’s better to have a thinner bezel than a bad webcam. If you are a streamer, it’s anyway recommended to have an external cam. But you can’t deny that it’s convenient to have an in-built web cam for quick video calls. The 240Hz refresh rate is a treat for games with fast paced graphics, and also for movies and videos. A higher refresh rate is always a must have for gamers that play fps games. Asus ROG Strix G17 — gaming review <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011408" hostid="261"></div> This laptop comes with a Nvidia RTX 3070Ti paired with Ryzen 6000 series CPU to deliver the top notch gaming performance. The GPU is equipped with new RT Cores, Tensor Cores and streaming multiprocessors delivering realistic ray-traced graphics. I played Days Gone, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, GTA 5 and Sniper Elite 4. The gaming experience is treat on this laptop. I played all the games at high settings and there was no lag although I was a little disappointed with the heating and fan noise. If you want to enjoy the sound while gaming, I will suggest you use headphones because of the daunting fan noise. Also, I tested a bunch of games with AAA titles that can hit 90 frames per second at ultra setting. The result was commendable. Without any doubt, the laptop can handle games like Far Cry 6 and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy at ultra settings. <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011672" hostid="261"></div>Additionally, the 2022 Strix G17 features DDR5 RAM, a gorgeous 2k display, liquid metal cooling, and a lot of other stuff which makes it a future-proof gaming laptop for at least two years from now. Audio and battery <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011650" hostid="261"></div> The G17 features speakers with 2 Smart Amp technology that provide decent sound under most scenarios. Speakers are paired with Dolby Atmos that gives presets equalizer settings that can be also tuned according to your preferences. A large 90Whr battery and fast Type-C 100W power delivery charging (PD) technology allow users to minimize the time they remain tethered to a plug. Fast charge PD technology can charge the Strix G17 battery from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. Well, it took me 34 minutes to reach 50%. Battery life has been a concern on gaming laptops unless you’re doing regular office or college work. You can’t game without a charger but it can last 4-5 hours with normal work. Keyboard and trackpad <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011535" hostid="261"></div> The ROG G17 keyboard has nothing special but Asus didn’t ditch the numpad like on the TUF series of laptops. While playing games and multitasking numpad comes in super handy. It has rubber-dome keys which feel soft while playing games. Each key are independently illuminated with RGB which gives an all-new gaming experience in dark. I am not a fan of keyboards with high key travel and it may take some time for you to get accustomed to it. But if you have to type a lot you’re most likely going to be impressed. The touchpad is sensitive and snappy but it’s not tactile and demands extra efforts for clicks and swipes. I expected a much premium trackpad from a laptop of this price. The feedback from the trackpad is annoying at times as it doesn’t feel uniform. Thermal performance <div type="image" title="Strix G17" msid="91011605" hostid="261"></div> For thermals, Asus has equipped an cooling system with components and dedicated software which are tuned to maintain device temperature under all scenarios. Asus claims the liquid metal gives 14x better thermal conductivity. In my usage, I felt the laptop to get very warm, especially during prolonged gaming with high settings. The keyboard doesn’t get unbearably hot but the sides do get heated up. Asus has placed the exhaust vents near the WASD key to maintain airflow and keep the cool during prolonged usage, but it doesn't work as well as intended. Final thoughts After using it for over 15 days and knowing the high end specifications it offers, it doesn’t seem overpriced. It looks good, offers top notch gaming performance and a beautiful display, which fits well for any gamer who wants to move around with its gaming machine. It’s good for intensive tasks like video editing, music production or graphic designing as well. It’s best suited for professionals and enthuhsiasts who want the ultimate best in laptop form factor. Those who can do away with ocassional gaming and just need a good laptop that can run high end games, there are cheaper alternatives in the market.

The company launched a 12 nm version of the product line - one of the smallest sizes on the market - in April. That revenue may be able to offset any slump resulting from softening demand for its other chips in the fact of declining cryptocurrency prices, according to Credit Suisse."While crypto at roughly 15% of revenue continues to be a headwind to 2H estimates, incremental growth from Ryzen channel fill and share gains in GPU at AAPL and INTC should protect 2H estimates from downward revision," John Pitzer, the bank's head of technology research, said in a note to clients this week.Interest in cryptocurrency mining has declined alongside the prices of major coins, with the flagship bitcoin down 39% since the beginning of the year.
