 Si na mag-aregalo sa iyon ng GPU ngayong pasko, it should be you. The best present is the one from me to me, but it's now the best time to buy. This is Price Watch, our monthly video where we collect data from the four largest PC retail stores in the country and we track the pricing trends for GPUs and CPUs. So based on prices now, compared to the historical data, we can come up with a objective assessment, medyo may basis naman sa data, if now is the best time to buy. The version na gusto mo, piliin on preferred playpen vento. Wala pang 5 minutes nagsizigit na para sa windows mo. Marami na kaming na tulungan. Dati, sadong depressed ako. But now, I've found a love of my life. Dati, iimresan walang purpose ng life ko. But now, I'm a world-class Zumba instructor. So web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel and ngayon ganun pa rin ako, pero activated na yung windows ko. Kaya akong naghanap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Checkoutcdcoffer.co I said last month that December or the holidays are not a good time to expect discounts. And a little bit, the data has made a liar out of me. You'll see that in the deep dive per shop, but you can also see it here. Ito mo na yung easy to look at, one number. So you can just compare the average of the four shops. So you can get a ballpark on what a price of a component should be. So for this month yung 16.50 mga ba? Rather dramatically, mga 600 pesos. So that's almost 10%. 30.50 also went down by quite a lot, around 800 pesos. Slight increase for the 30.60, 40.60 went down. And you notice that the 30.60 and 40.60 are still neck and neck. That shouldn't be the case. The 40.60 should be cheaper than the 30.60. But it's good that nandito na sila ngayon. Like around 18,000, 19,000 yung dapat yung prasyon ng 40.60. The 30.60 should be lower panang that. And this is the 30.60 12GB because that's the only variant that we track. 40.70, slightly cheaper, around 700 pesos. 40.80 went up slightly. And the 40.90 went up rather dramatically. From 111K to 126K. Again, we always get the cheapest prices of that particular card or that particular CPU. So yung average cheapest price among the four stores for a 40.90 was 126,000 compared to 111,000 last month. And this is also what we kind of see in our own shop. We can still get 40.90s pero yung natitiran na lang yung medyong mahal na brands, yung medyong mahal na variants sila. Relatively affordable brands like Colorful out of stock na yung 40.90. So there is a tightening of the GPU market at least on the high end. And you can see that also even with the AMD cards. And speaking of AMD cards, itong 6600 sobrang labo nito. Actually the main reason why the price shot up so much, there was one store that has it at a super expensive price and we'll do that. We'll see it in a deep dive later. 7700XT went down by around 1400 pesos so not bad. And in the 7900XTX, even though it is hard to find now, bumaba pa rin. It's the second month in a row na bumaba yung GPU na ito. In fact, the only better performing GPU in terms of pa waba na price is yung 3050 which for three months straight. So ever since October, I've been color coding it. Did it go up or down based on the previous month? Itong 3050 has been on a slide and he's been following the latest hardware news. The 3050, at least in this variant, is probably going to get discontinued. Although may Chase Miss na magpapalit na ibang variant, I don't know, I haven't really followed that. The 3050 is not the best card even for its price point. Na dadala lang kasi Invidia card siya. For a lot of people, there's still a lot of oh, Invidia so I guess okay naman and I'll just pay for it even though the price is not that great. For the CPUs, these are always less volatile than GPUs. No change in the price of the 7950X although it is hard to find so I think this is only based on one or two shops. The 7800X 3D actually went up slightly same with the 7600X and the 5600X which just a slight price increase but it is still a very popular CPU. The AM4 5000 series still very popular for new buyers even for those not upgrading yung mga gumagawa talaga ng full rigs na bago the 5000 series is still very popular. The 5600G in particular is also very popular still nice price decrease of around 400-500 pesos. I have not been able to find any shop for the past three months or so this one was an outlier na may rise in 5300-600 so it might be time to retire this particular CPU from our round up. Onto Intel the 3900K went down in price I was thinking whether I should change this with the 4900K since the 14th gen came out last month but the 4900K isn't that far apart from the 3900K both in terms of performance and in price. So I'm thinking we'll just keep the 3900K and then add to the Intel CPUs being tracked when the 15th gen comes out. The 15th gen does use a new platform so 12, 13, 14 they all use the same platform socket LGA1700 but the 15th gen we're expecting to see better performance increases because it's a completely different platform. 1300K price drop slightly and it has been dropping actually since July every month since July pao ba yung price. The 12500 actually got a little price increase I find it a little funny because it is an older CPU but I think there's still a market because 12, 13th even a little bit 14th di sila ganun ka layo in terms of performance generally speaking so did the data make a liar out of me because nabangit ko last month na hindi uso magpa deep discounts flash out sales, holiday discount sales for computer parts because we do have the data stretching all the way to last Christmas we started price watch last October 2022 so this is December and then this is the first week of January so we do have the data to compare and I mentioned last episode na based on the data we have hindi uso yung mga large discounts and that is still true even though prices have gone down slightly for a lot of the components that we've seen hindi malaki yung mga price drops sometimes several hundred relatively thousand plus medyo okay na yun especially for the lower end cards so there are a bit of good deals pero nothing spectacular hindi tayo mahilig sa mga Black Friday deals na sobrang laki nung discount and speaking as a small retailer I don't think the retailers can afford it to be honest the margins are already pretty small as they are you notice the ones na mahilig mag deep discount yung mga large shops because they can get away their margins are probably higher because they bought in bulk so they can afford to reduce the prices so the per shop deep dive wedge if you can figure out what wedge is across the board except for the 3060 had a price decrease so blue means na bumabasha for compared to last month except for the 3060 which is a little high mas mura pa nga yung 4060 nila which again shouldn't be the case they do have a good price in the 4090 at 108k but wedge is the reason that sobrang mahal nung 6600 it's like double the price let's jump a little bit to wash there are only 2 shops that have the 6600 wedge and wash and wash has it at 12,000 wedge has it for almost double the price at 23,000 which is bonkers it's crazy the 6600 is a good card all the more so because still readily available the price really dropped but now I don't know what wedge is trying to do I mean you add a little bit more and then you can get well okay relatively a bit more but in absolute peso terms just add a little bit more and you get the 7700 XT so I don't know where this price came from but the nvidia GPUs of wedge are well priced they have dropped in price and they are well priced roi 6050 went up 3050 went down still same price or 3060 and price increase for the 4060 and the 4070 the cheapest 4090 they have is ROG Strix which is not that cheap and that is the same situation with wash roi has none of the AMD GPUs that we track also roi also has pretty bad CPU inventory to be honest we'll get to him later it was consistently bad with CPU inventory and with well actually roi was pretty good last month actually it was all complete with AMD cards so it's interesting naubos na ba and they can't restock which is kind of the story for AMD cards a lot of people ask how come we don't have in general bakit hindi gano ko available yung AMD cards dito sa atin I had one customer who asked me why is that the case that's yung sa Thailand andamin yung options for AMD cards I really think it's like a chicken and an egg thing retailers don't think that there's that big of a market so they only buy a couple and then so people lose interest in AMD because they see na kunti lang yung mga available options so it's kind of like a chicken and an egg thing but to be fair to roi, he did have last month I guess he's a happy reseller because he is sold out now joker price decrease for three of his Nvidia cards but a price increase for the 4080 much more expensive than the 4080 from wedge and even more expensive than the 4080 from wash joker also does not have any AMD cards which brings us to wash which has four Nvidia GPUs on price decreases and two with a price increase again towards the upper end of the market with the 4080 and the 4090 at this wash though has two AMD cards but not the top of the line of AMD the 7900 XTX so these are some of the largest if not the four largest PC retailers in the country but even they sometimes have trouble keeping stock of items in general I mean you would think all retailers would have the 7900 XTX all large retailers we don't have but we have the 700 XT moving on to CPUs they are less volatile than GPUs although price increases from wedge for three of the AMD CPUs but a price drop on the crowd favorite 5600G not much movement from Roy although not much stock either same with joker doesn't stock a lot of or about half of the AMD CPUs that we follow although price decrease for the 5600G but Roy still has the cheapest one well actually wash has the cheapest one and he had it even since last month and wash has price decreases and no price increases for his CPUs that we track so these are the average prices this is the data that we insert here dito sa summary so there are some holiday discounts but again the price decreases aren't substantial for a lot of the components may contain several hundred paminsan thousand plus but overall it's not super enticing and in fact on the higher end either you can't find the card or the cards that are available are quite pricey so my advice for this month would be if you can wait wait let's let supplies come back in so that prices can drop back down you know it's a supply and demand thing the more na medyo humigpit yung supply yung price so if you can wait i would wait but if you can't wait then go ahead you know do your research then pull the trigger and then forget about what price you got it at and just enjoy the component that you bought and with that that's the last price watch episode for 2023 let's see what 2024 has for us whether we will see better prices and a bit more rationality in the market yung I don't understand how the 6600 from one retailer is almost double the price compared to another retailer I still don't understand how the 3060 is more expensive than the 4060 so sometimes it's uh the market doesn't act rationally but we'll see how that goes next year thanks for watching and you can also buy from our site www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up to date yung inventory kong instock yung item sa amin available yung sa site we also ship nationwide thanks for watching and maybe one of these days makita tayo sa shop
