Chipmaker Elpida Admits Price Fixing

First off, there is no such thing as a "top of the line NVIDIA cards" since NVIDIA only sells the GPU and a reference design. but there is something like "recommended retail price", and both companies set those identical - $649 for 7800 GTX/X1900 XTX As far as the low-end is concerned, one can find 6200TC-based graphics cards for $40-$50. I am talking last generation (7300) -- I really have no idea what this means.

Intel is price fixing all the time Let me guess, this was already debated and detailed in comp.arch at least six months ago? ;-) I have no idea, I dont read comp.arch.* Every oligopoly/monopoly chip manufacturer is price fixing, like NVidia/Intel/ATI/AMD and many others. How else would you call selling Semprons, NForce SLI chips or Celerons? DO you have a clue what "price-fixing" means? Sheesh! -- Keith |

NVIDIA did suggest $650 when it *announced* the 7800GTX, but the MSRP was adjusted to $600 on launch. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24550 Moreover, what matters to consumers is the actual price, not the MSRP. Today, prices for 7800GTX-based cards range from $450 to $510. As far as the low-end is concerned, one can find 6200TC-based graphics cards for $40-$50. I am talking last generation (7300) How can you discuss the price of a GPU that is not even available in the USA yet? http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2674 (At this point, I imagine I have been trolled.) |

No, that's actually legal and it's called "market segmentation". Customers don't much like it. "Price fixing" is an agreement between competitors to fix prices or otherwise limit competition. Illegal. -- Robert |

Well, it's the usenet, but some knowledge of search engines is good. Ok I know now, but this is as misleading as the term "conspiracy" in US legal system (means something diametrically different in Europe). What's misleading about "conspiracy"? It takes two to tango, or price-fix. That does raise the question... What is "conspiracy to price fix"? ;-) -- Keith |
