AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

After the RTX 5090, the RTX 5080 is gone from Nvidia's store; it launched at $999 but now sells for up to $2,199.99, and rumors say Nvidia is shifting production to more profitable AI chips. @PKGulati argues rising GPU prices and falling token prices squeeze whoever buys the racks, so much AI capex may be written...

The post cites @PKGulati, who argues that rising GPU prices and falling token prices squeeze the businesses that buy AI server racks, so some AI capital spending may be written down before it pays back. If that holds, builders and companies planning AI hardware purchases would feel the impact most. Watch for official statements from Nvidia on RTX 5080 supply and for any change in GPU pricing.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
