  It's cycles mate. They use debt off the stored value of their good times, whether via market cap or stock buybacks.
  You can enact austerity if you're an idiot.
context: Hey Nvidia or AMD, tell you what, send me a gpu and then if you need it back just let me know and send me a box to mail it back to you.  I will store it for you for free <3 >
  
  
  Pandemic recovery, rising interest rates, a falling stock market, and recession fears have weakened consumer appetite for electronics.
  
  Not to mention ridiculous pricing on the latest line of graphics cards.  (Nvidia, looking at you.) >
  
  Same with AMD cards too. RX 7900 series being sold for up to 1600€ in Europe is just absolutely idiotic. >
  
  So prices should go down, right? >
  
  Anakin meme: Right??? >
  
  This is the cheapest I have seen chips in some time. You can buy practically anything from Intel or AMD on sale. 
  I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but it seems like on the GPU side the supply is being artificially restricted >
  
  The amount of cars sitting in huge lots being offloaded from ships in Philly is something j haven’t seen in some time.
  If car prices don’t drop swiftly, car dealers are gonna have a problem. >
  
  This is a good thing.
  Find a new equilibrium, use the time to better develop new tech. >
  
  How can you pay for R&D if you are making less money? >
  
  Because it's budgeted and necessary to make breakthroughs to have the new chips attractive again.
  They've been feeding, time to put back some of that in investment. >
  
  If they’re not making any money they can’t invest money. When your revenue goes down, your operating expenses go down as well
