  • “We are fast reaching the point where even the 16,000$ RTX 6000 pro no longer makes sense for Nvidia to produce (some say that we are already there) My hopium (read cope) is that when Nvidia releases the 8000 series, the 6000 series becomes cheap because all the datacenters want the new stuff.”

  • “One source said Nvidia told partners they ​might receive only 5% to 10% of the quantities requested. Another said the company had indicated it could produce no more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 ⁠cards globally in 2027. Total orders from customers in China have exceeded 6 million, two of the sources said. So yes, but actually no”
