Nvidia Shield TV price jumps $100 amid AI demand
Original: The 7-year-old Nvidia Shield TV is now $100 more expensive due to AI
The Nvidia Shield TV, a streaming set-top box first released in 2015 and never replaced, has seen its price rise by roughly $100. Ars Technica attributes the increase to the AI boom, which has pushed up demand and costs for Nvidia's chips, making older consumer products more expensive to keep in production. Commenters are struck that a seven-year-old device is costing more, not less, over time.
Why now: Nvidia's chip prioritisation for AI datacentres is raising costs for its legacy consumer hardware, an unusual price hike for an ageing product.
