Looks like CPU & GPUs wouldn't be the only things getting expensive in 2022. As TSMC & other foundries have raised prices recently, it looks like the price increase might be significant enough to get passed down to end consumers across pretty much everything which were not impacted in 2021 like laptops, phones, tablets, smartwatches & maybe even cars. This price is increase is not just across the newer nodes, it seems to be an overall price increase.
Honestly, to all those waiting for price cuts on PC parts as well as consoles or any other electronic product might be better off purchasing the things whenever the product price is within their grasp & not waiting for more discounts. You might lose on some additional discount but if the price increases you might not be able to purchase the product at all. The future looks grim as the wait for lower cost parts does not look to be in the cards. I fear that a couple of such years might permanently increase the prices of these components.
Thoughts? Also do share stuff that you guys are waiting for to get a price cut or prices to normalize.
