HW News - AMD RX 9070 XT Inbound, Counterfeit 9800X3Ds, RTX 5090 Supply, KINGPIN Might Switch Sides

Great work on the episode, Tannen! Also, we might have Joe Stepongzi (aka Bearded Hardware) up soon for some overclocking on the 5090!

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

When TSMC announced they were looking at building a FAB in Arizona I said it would be a mistake. Why? Because water. Their FAB in Taiwan shutdown several years ago because a typhoon knocked out their local supply of clean water. The water supply in Arizona already isn't in a good state and is expected to become more restrictive in the future. You can make chips or you can provide people with water to drink, but they aren't going to be able to do both. Both Intel and TSMC deciding to build multi-billion dollar FABs in Arizona because of tax benefits may turn out to be some of the biggest business blunders ever.

[@Eric10301]

It's truly astonishing the government okayed building there, much less gave them billions to do it. Once again we pretend global warming isn't real.

[@arcanum3882]

True, the entire Midwest of the United States will continue to have less and less water over the next decades, even century if their mismanagement continues

[@devilmikey00]

Well, it is the US. My money would be on the people not getting drinking water over chip production stopping.

[@FNLNFNLN]

Dunno, that might work out pretty good for Taiwan. TSMC is Taiwan's main security asset, it has the world by the nads. The less the world is dependent on TSMC's Taiwan fabs, the less effective that strategy is.

Shipping sulfuric acid from Taiwan to Arizona for cost savings sounds absolutely nuts, US is the second largest producer itself after china.. and this is a product with a very low cost vs. volume, plus any transport is essentially a hazmat shipment

[@probro101]

Sounds like grift or lies from TMSC

[@MCJemFinch]

Most of the US production is industrial grade sulfuric acid, which cannot be used for semiconductors. I wouldn't trust an American company since management tends to cut the QC department to the bare minimum and they hire the cheapest people who barely know what they're doing. Why switch suppliers when they know what they're getting is already good and has a proven track record. Bad chemicals could trash millions worth of chips.

[@gamernerd7139]

This is not lies. This is what happens when you allow the government to create regulations in the name of "safety". Results in more approvals and bureaucratic red tape. And net result is the increased cost of manufacturing in the US. As a consumer you want your chips to be cheap, right?

[@ffwast]

I've encountered this kind of nonsense at work, it's the government. It's cheaper to drive the work truck halfway across the state and back to buy pails of oil all the time than it is to get the government to let us just pour the oil in the pail.

[@Bob_Smith19]

If you think sulfuric acid shrouding be regulated for “safety” I can tell you’ve never worked w/ it. I’m not saying there isn’t over regulation. But safety regulations are certainly required w/ it. Both in manufacturing, transportation and use. Remember that corporations don’t care about workers at all and will provide no safety unless forced to.

[@E_Sunbro]

Imagine announcing a product and then not making enough to meet demand. I love consumer electronics after 2020, so so much.

[@GamersNexus]

Crazy timing with Chinese New Year too, as the factories are all on vacation soon or already. It'll slow supply for a while with this timing!

[@E_Sunbro]

@GamersNexus My initial theory was that they pushed the launch from their typical Q4 release to Q1 in an effort to get a lead on manufacturing so they might actually have enough stock for launch. Seems nothing’s changed. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me thrice, shame me.

I was patiently waiting for Amazon to restock a few weeks ago and managed to snag one directly from Amazon at MSRP. While I was checking in to the product page everyday to see if it was back in stock, I noticed many 0 or 1 feedback 3rd party sellers pop up offering a 9800X3D with a somewhat decent price compared to the other scalpers, but since they had no sales record and a gibberish nonsense vendor name, I avoided them due to the possibility of getting a fake X3D.

Supply limited due to communications issue with the AIB partners.... bullshit. What, was it? "Oh, did you want some chips for your cards? Really? Wow, my bad guys. You should have texted me or something. Man, you didn't say anything so I totally didn't make you any chips." More like, "we announced and launched the product before we were ready to produce enough for demand so we could get a stock bump in Q4". Then spin the undersupply as "tremendous demand" and Nvidia can get another stock jump in Q1 when we are in middle of the next card drought! Master moves.

that silverstone case is a gd09 with a different front, so its been in the market for like 10 years, they just painted it and changed the front plastic lol

[@frankb.8071]

hello any potential ltt viewers, remember you can criticize both GN and LTT and still enjoy their content👍

[@HelloEveryone-v4s]

is steve going to just complain every product in the video again?

[@frankb.8071]

@ i rather someone complain about everything than accept everything as it is. that’s one thing i like about GN, theyre very picky about products and dont hesitate to point out issues, even if sometimes they go overboard. at the end of the day the consumer is the benefitter

[@DailyCorvid]

LTT sucks and has done since about 3 years ago. Why do people still cling to "old Linus"? Since his wife took his job LTT is a waste of space. GN were last to that particular party, long time WAN show viewers who had a clue figured this out and left ages ago. Linus is now officially a thieving commie. And helloeveryone is a fake account ffs get a life!!

[@jakobschneider558]

Tell this the GN viewers. They are the only salty people I've seen since the whole shitshow.

[@HelloEveryone-v4s]

@ yeah but a lot of his complaints are just dumb.

[@Adamdupre12]

Thanks Steve!

[@TheRoarer]

Great job Tannen!

[@Hobbes4ever]

ah Nvidia has to resort to artificially create scarcity to make their products appear popular

[@Stinksatthis]

Awesome episode keep up the good work

I don’t own an Intel card, but I want them to succeed in the GPU space. It would be rad to see an Intel K|NGP|N GPU.

Just a heads up, that Silverstone Floppy chassis is just the HTPC Silverstone GD09B with a slightly different face plate. I built a HTPC using that chassis and it was ok. The major issue is thermals. Airflow is very limited since the GPU splits the case, effectively only getting airflow from a single 120mm fan. The other issue is with the drive cage in the cooler options are MASSIVELY limited. AIO’s are a no go without modification to the case. The largest cooler I could fit was the Noctua NH-U9S which due to lack of airflow could only keep my 5800X3D down to the low to mid 70’s while gaming.
