RTX 5080 Prices Surge 50% Amid Supply Shortages and Nvidia Hikes

Nvidia price hikes and halted bulk shipments drive RTX 5080 up 50% and SSDs up 132%. Severe supply constraints tighten spot markets for AI computing hardware.

Woofun AI reports that surging demand for AI computing power has triggered a severe global supply shortage in storage chips and graphics cards. In Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei, manufacturers have halted bulk shipments following Nvidia's recent price increase notifications, causing rapid tightening of spot goods availability.

Data indicates that mainstream hardware prices are rising sharply. A 1TB solid-state drive increased from 410 yuan in September to 950 yuan, a 132% jump. 16GB DDR5 memory prices rose by 311%, while the RTX 5060 increased by approximately 30% and the RTX 5080 by about 50%.
