I got the EVO-X2 for $1,599! In 44+ years of buying computers, I've seen some appreciation, but nothing like this. Going from $1,599 to ~$3,500 in a year is just insane.

And GMKtec just released an EVO-X3 [0] based on the same board but with Oculink. When AMD launched this I thought it was the new chipset that was going to have 192GB of unified memory, but they look to be capitalizing on the inflated premium these "dev" focused desktop solutions.

Regretting not buying the Framework back when it was around $2k.

I've never seen appreciation in buying PCs. They were always like cars, once you drive them off the lot...

Well, GPUs sorta went up in the past 5 years.. but nothing like now.

[qingcharles]

Right. But they shouldn't have :) These are wild times. In the past memory and GPU prices always went down heavily.

128GB of the most in demand chip on the planet will do that to you.

128GB of the most in demand consumer chip when all the manufacturers are switching to HBM manufacturing because the margins are far better there will do that to you. It sucks.

I was looking at buying hardware for me and as testing ground to learn. With those prices I just nipped out and will just rent in demand at runpod or so.

Absolute insanity
