Hmm... You might be on to something. Ever since after Ww2, we have been ruled in a way where police is never really stated outright and whatever teevee suggests is never what the policy or reasoning really is.
Looking at your "Patriot" act
People hyped for the Nvidia 5000 series better get their cards before prices skyrocket across the board. I guess graphics cards weren't expensive enough or something.
Really though, no brand is safe from the soon-to-be insane prices if this does go through as a blanket tariff without exceptions. Better to err on the safe side and upgrade soon as you can, if you need to and you're not too wealthy to care.
Will this affect cpu prices? I don't know much about my computer's gut's guts

Maybe it'll bring chip prices down to Rest of the World™ to clear stock. Thanks Trump!
Nooe, they will just permanently raise prices everywhere and pocket bigger margins.

I say this not to be reactionary or pro trump.
Is there no way to use lesser nodes for wider applications? While there are processes that need as much speed as possible, I feel like what gives Taiwan semiconducting industries such great business is the fact that code optimization isn't as cost effective as the latest and greatest chips.
I HOPE these tariffs inspire better, more secure code to make less efficient chips more viable. Like a lemon to lemonade situation.
If you optimize code, it will still run faster if the CPU or GPU is 30% faster.
If you make 50% speed improvements with code, you get 65% improvement with code+hardware upgrades. The hardware multiplies your software gains.
Also, half of the gains in recent years have been in energy efficiency, not just speed.
So if the idea is to do more with less, you don’t wanna rely on old power-hungry designs.
