Well, Happy New Year!

Reading the comments this is a Spanish Fool’s day prank.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Sorry, I feel dumb! Also Spanish Fool's day?

 

[Mister Wolf]

"Lost".

 

[IntentionalPun]

Fake.

Although funny enough there was a ship a few weeks back that lost a bunch of containers; and they have no way of knowing which ones were lost until they do a full inventory of the ship, and because everything shifted around in a storm it's gonna take weeks.

Major electronics were on that ship and even those that didn't fall into the ocean will get delayed.

I'm not even sure if the entire production run of all the 3000 series GPUs is 1/2 a million units up to this point. (I really doubt the total number of 3080s made up until now is that number.)

 

[Elios83]

LOL fake, not even the full LTD production is 500k adding the boards from all manufacturers.
High end GPU cards are manufactured in the tens of thousands, they are not mass market products.
Not to mention that if such a huge shipment got lost there would be questions and investigations.

 

[fermcr]

They should have used a lower number, like 500 or 5000... half million is just too much for someone to believe.

 

[SlimySnake]

they shipped only around 2,000 units at launch. 500k is probably not even their full allocation for the year.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Well the lads at techradar seem to have eaten it, as the original news are from a spanish website.

 

[Pagusas]

Fake, like any company wouldn’t be looking for $400 million worth of lost products

 

[SJRB]

Biggest container ever.

Sounds like the opening scene of a Batman vs Cryptominer plotline.

Cryptominer sounds like a Batman villain. Bwahahaha

Seriously, I remember playing Arkham Asylum and collecting all the old bad guy nicknacks. It really would fit in perfectly.

I heard this is the plot to Uncharted 5: Drake's Quest For A New GPU
