Fake MSRP: AMD's Radeon 9070 XT $600 Launch Price Was a Fantasy

In context: Demand for GPUs and other AI accelerators isn't expected to decrease anytime soon, and the cost of DRAM will be directly influenced by the strong "generative bubble" we are experiencing right now. Market intelligence company TrendForce has made some estimations for the third quarter of the year, and, unsurprisingly, prices are going up.
