Hardware-It's not just GPUs: Laptops with RTX 30, in short supply due to mining

[ArInA-pAn]

 

A few years ago we suffered from a curious situation of GPU shortage due to mining, and now with the growth of the value of BTC and ETH cryptocurrencies we have returned to the same situation. The shortage of GPUs is such that not even miners can access them, so it seems they are looking for other alternatives and, apparently, it goes for gaming laptops with dedicated RTX 30 GPUs as it has been discovered in China. a huge farm that uses hundreds of them.

 

Hasee is a Chinese notebook manufacturer that now offers products with GeForce RTX 30 Series technology. A huge cryptocurrency mining farm has uploaded a video that shows hundreds of equipment of this brand already implemented or about to do so in the procedure of mining cryptocurrencies, a situation that is also beginning to cause a shortage in the market for laptops with dedicated RTX graphics .

 

The Huge Mining Farm with RTX Laptops
PC gamers are already clearly tired and annoyed by the situation in the current market, in which it is almost impossible to find stock of graphics cards (and not only the RTX 30 from NVIDIA, but also from AMD) for some time months. This situation is now aggravated by the fact that miners are buying large quantities of gaming laptops in order to continue building their farms to mine cryptocurrencies, causing shortages in this market segment as well.

 

Both AMD and NVIDIA have already said that the shortage situation that exists due to mining is legitimate and that they cannot or will not do anything, but if they intend to take care of the gamer community, which is the one that reports a huge part of their benefits, it is clear that they must do something or else they could both become manufacturers exclusively for the miners. And if what happened years ago happens, there will come a time when cryptocurrencies fall in price and stop attracting so much interest, so your income will begin to plummet.

The fact is that this shortage situation that we are experiencing in the graphics card market may soon spread to the gaming laptop market, and that may not be the same for them anymore.
