Is the proposed 60% tariff on China still relevant? I get the impression this was an election pitch and the current proposal from the incoming administration is a 10% on Chinese imports to the US.

The $2.5 K proposed price for the 5090 is based on a 40% tariff. Why not 60%? The baseline price still seems to be ~$1,800 which aligns with earlier leaks.

I bet they'll give it an insane price and blame it on tariffs regardless of the actual tariff rate. The people who can afford these top-end Nvidia GPUs won't care.
