I cannot fathom being that stupid to believe that Republicans are anti-monoploy when they give huge corporation massive tax breaks and removes barriers for mega mergers

Again, I know I posted about PC/video cards because this is a PC gaming sub but this will affect so much more we use and buy and having a computer to self host is the least of your worries.
TV's? Uses tons of semiconductors, 100% tariffs. Washing machine? Semiconductors, 100% tariffs. Car? So many semiconductors, 100% tariffs. That cordless impact drill? Semiconductors, 100% tariffs.
If it has any electronics your going to be paying more with this cockamamie grift.
Well good luck to those 65% of veterans who voted for trump and were trying to buy a house.
The schadenfreude is delicious.
TSMC has been complaining/level setting the AZ plant already. They're saying they can't find qualified employees, regulations on water, you know building a water intensive process in the middle of a damn desert that has a water shortage for a decade now, and things like sulfuric acid, but the biggest things is they pointed out that Taiwan has laws preventing advanced manufacturing process from being moved out of the country.
That is the biggest things that will prevent them from producing what Trump thinks will happen with these I'll thought out tariffs and you may be right that it will piss them off enough to pull all the way out.
Why does anyone care or want to publish this disingenuous asshole's opinion on anything?
And you miss the whole point. So you think this only affects the 5090? You do realize that even the lowly B570, $219 MSRP, is manufactured by TSMC and would be hit by the moronic Republican 100% tariff.
Good luck average/budget gamers.
Very true, it's not just processors, it's also a lot of semiconductors used in every device ranging from your TV, to your washer, to your car.
Everything electronic will be hiked up astronomically.
And given what trump and Republicans who have control of everything and what they've already jammed through, I would bet on anyone standing up and stopping this or any other tariff he's promised.
When it comes to the average American? Yes.
Republicans are doing what Jesus would have done after all.
Never. The stupidity and need to be a victim will never allow them to admit they're idiots who screwed America over.
Oh please. We had the same shit in 2020 and we had a record turn out.
Don't put the blame on voter suppression when it's American stupidity and apathy that's the cause.
This generation is all about the upsell and fake frames at least with Nvidia.
Shame that AMD sounded like they weren't going to try to complete in the 5080 space given what we've been shown.
