China's GPU Prices Soar as GDDR6/GDDR7 Costs Spike and Retailers Stockpile
GPU prices for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have surged in mainland China as DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 climb due to shortages, with manufacturers and retailers raising prices and stockpiling inventory. The increases span multiple models (e.g., RTX 5090 D, RTX 5080, 5060 Ti) and are expected to persist, as analysts forecast further DRAM price bumps in 2026, potentially dampening PC shipments and intensifying the market’s volatility.
