Rising component costs impact gaming hardware prices
零組件成本上漲影響遊戲硬體價格
As Artificial Intelligence infrastructure expands, major tech companies are consuming the bulk of semiconductor manufacturing capacity and high-bandwidth memory.
隨著人工智慧基礎設施的擴張，大型科技公司正消耗著半導體製造產能與高頻寬記憶體的大部分份額。
Beyond chips, the raw materials required for PCBs and power systems, such as copper and aluminum, have reached record price levels due to competition from the electric vehicle sector.
除了晶片之外，印刷電路板與電力系統所需的原材料，如銅與鋁，因電動車產業的競爭已達到歷史價格高點。
Furthermore, complex trade policies, rising logistics costs, and strategic shifts toward higher-margin products mean that entry-level gaming PCs are becoming a rarity.
此外，複雜的貿易政策、不斷上漲的物流成本，以及向高利潤產品的戰略轉移，意味著入門級電競電腦正變得稀有。
As hardware prices maintain high floors for longer periods, consumers are increasingly forced to delay upgrades, skip generations, or turn to cloud gaming.
隨著硬體價格在更長的時間內維持高檔，消費者被迫延後升級、跳過世代更新或轉向雲端遊戲。
