Tom's Hardware tracked the storefront price from $8,565 at March 2025 launch to $13,250 in June to $16,000 now. The cause named across Tom's, VideoCardz, TechPowerUp, and ThinkComputers is GDDR7 memory, not silicon: the card carries 32 × 3GB modules, so every per-module increase multiplies 32 times. Clearest signal yet that the memory shortage is what's repricing local inference hardware. If you were planning a local-inference box, the math changed.
