 What's up internet? You know the drill? This is price watch where every month we track the prices from the four largest PC retailers in the country. We crunch the data and then we let you know. Is it time to buy? Ok na ba yung mga presyo ng mga GPU and CPU ngayon? But something a bit different for this episode because we've been doing this since last year. We have a lot of data. And for this episode, we'll be looking at that old data and checking to see kung tutoonga ba yung mga Christmas sales. Sanay tayo pag pasko, may discount, pero nangayari ba talaga yan for computer parts should you wait until Christmas sale before you buy? Let's find out after a word from our sponsor. 7.

But before that about prices, I did want to mention that we have seen a spike in at least one component, two components actually. We don't usually track them on price watch, but you do need them for your computer and I'm talking about RAM and storage or at least kong SSD. So, broong tumas yung prices nito ng RAM chaka SSD. Not surprising because they're basically the same thing nowadays. Yung RAM is essentially an SSD, just a different flavor of it. So, at the start of this year, RAM and storage prices were pretty good. So, broong bumagsak sila. And the reason given at the time was oversupply. May shortage nung pandemic, they ramped up production at the end of pandemic. Supply caught up with demand. So, the excess production was no longer needed. So, we thought or a lot of people thought na mag-stabilize nang prices at that kind of depressed lower end of the price range. And it was like that for most of the year. Pero ngayon, sobrang tumas na ulit sila. Just to give some context, we had a G-Skill RAM set. It increased price by around 1,000 pesos, which was around like 20%. So, the absolute peso amounts don't seem like a lot. I mean, you know, you're gonna spend 20 plus thousand sa 46,000. What's 1,000 pesos more for RAM? Pero makihita mo sa percentages. A 20% price increase is crazy. Similar, around 15% or so price increases for SSDs. So, that is something that you wanna take into consideration for this particular time period. RAM and SSD prices are very high. Taking a look at the main question. Bungababa ba yung mga presyo pag holiday season? Let's take a look at this month's prices because we're sort of a month away or slightly less than a month away from December 25. Retailers do want to put in discounts before that. People will be buying for themselves, for presents. So, you don't want the price for December 25. Gusto mo, bago pa magpasko, siyempre mura na. It is before Christmas that people start buying. Overall, a lot of the GPUs have gone down in price and yung mga omakyat maliit lang yung price increase nila. So, 1650 went up just very slightly. 3050 went down. 3060 went down. 4060 went down. 4070 went down. 4080 went up but just very slightly. And same, very slight increase for the 4090. Price decreases for Intel, notably the 13 series kasi kakalabas lang ng 14th gen. So, I assume there will be a bit of price depression for the 13th gen. AMD CPUs actually holding strong, no change at all from the previous month. But if you take a look at these numbers, these are not aggressive price cuts. I wouldn't even call them legit price cuts because they're only like 100 pesos difference. This is more like the normal akit baba rather than actual discounts. So, for this season, going into this season, yes, tuto naman, wala patay sa December. But if you're aggressive about discounts, you'd think that they would already be present so far wala pa. And let's go back to last year's data. So, itong column na ito was from January at the start of the year. This is 2022. So, this is the last week of 2022. So, these would be December and this would be November. And what you see actually is no price difference. So, this is the first week of November. Yes, there's a good price decrease actually for the 1650. 11,000 na lang siya compared to yung previous na 11,900. Pero yung previous data niya was already there. Week four, 11,000. Week five, 11,200. Pumalik sa 11K first week of December. Same story for the 3050. Actually, slight increase pang for the 3050. For the 3060, very small price decrease from November. There was even a price increase at the end of November compared to how it was like the third week of November. At the 4080, we just started tracking it. So, brand new card palang siya. But no discounts for the brand new card sa December. 86K, tumas pangas sa 87K and then bumalik sa 86K. For the 4090, quite expensive. There was a good price drop the first two weeks of the mid weeks of December and then umakatodit siya to the last week of December. We have changed up the data, the GPUs that we're tracking. We were tracking at the 6600 and the 7700 XT. But we can look at the old data because we were tracking 6500 XT and 6700 XT and that maps out to this location here. No price difference. Tumas pang akonte when it hit December from around 12700 to 13100. Same with the 6700 XT. It dropped slightly from 30,000 and then naging 28 na siya. Pero tumas ulit to 88.8K at the last week of December. For CPUs, same data, no change if there is any change minimal. So the conclusion we can get from this, you can look at the data as with always itong price watch list natin is 24-7 accessible the link is in the comment section as well as in the video description. But what we're seeing from the data is na walang discounts for Christmas. There are no Christmas sales at least based on the aggregate average price that we're seeing from the 4 largest PC retailers that we track. This is what we saw in 2022 and it looks like this is what will be happening in 2023 na kahit 2nd or 3rd week of November na wala pa rin masyadong price decreases sales. So just taking an individual deep dive, we have noticed already that prices have gone down but just very slightly ito 300 pesos. So 3 very small price decreases not cost by sales most likely cost by the normal price fluctuations. If we go into the per shop deep dive you can see that wedge, actually ito maas yung cost ng 1650 same with the 3050 and the 3060. Yes. You notice that there is a very minimal difference the 3060 12 gigabytes because we only track the 12 gigabyte version it's 19,250 versus 19,580. There's no reason why the prices should be the same for 3060, 4060. The 4060 is the superior card it uses less power, it's around 20% faster than the 3060. If you caught our last month's price watch episode I mentioned this before as well as on poy di magtanong the 4060 no brainer if you see it at the same price at the 3060 12 gigabytes don't get the 3060. The 4060 is the way to go. 4070 this is an okay price what about average price ng 4070 it's around 38.5 so this is just really the average the 4080 at around 80 and a small price drop for wedge for the 4090. The one with the most interesting price decreases for GPUs was Joker again we cloak or we mask the real names of the shops because we don't want to give them free publicity we just want their pricing data but if you know who Joker is or if you follow closely they've had multiple price drops under GPUs. Last month Joker's 3060-19500 significantly cheaper now at 17-50 again we get the we get the cheapest one so we don't care about the brand, we care about the price just the same model. 3060 dual fan 12 gigabytes the cheapest model now Joker is the Inno 3D at 17,000 which is a good price decrease from the 3060 last month which was an MSI now this is a good price difference in fairness kay Joker 19,000 for the 4060 which is its average and then 17,000 for the 3060 for me I would still go value for money yes you're paying more in absolute terms but in comparison price to performance terms I think an extra 2k is worth it for 20% extra performance from a 4060 but you know if you're in extremis if gipit na gipit sa budget that 2,000 really matters a lot then 3060 12 gigabytes at 17k is okay na especially because if you notice that the average price for the 3060 if you take all three shops which had 3060 is over 18,000 so this already a very good price from Joker wash not too many changes slight increase to the 4060 it was really Joker na maraming price decreases but even then you notice walang price difference for wedge for the 4080 kay Joker moaba but their cheapest model is still at 88,500 compared to the cheapest from wedge which is only 80,000 si Roy talagang mahina yung stock ni Roy at least to be fair for the kind of cards and CPUs that we look at we have changed up the data although Joker in video GPU si Joker mahina sa AMD GPUs didn't have any of the cards that we track but everybody else had the cards that we do track and like I mentioned last month we've changed up the first two cards now we track the 6600 and the 7700 XT no price changes though for AMD AMD was in a good place they're able to flush out a lot of their 60 series GPUs so now the 70 series GPUs are sitting walang masyadong price fluctuations the 6600 is a good deal it comes out slightly faster if I remember correctly than the 1650 of Nvidia you notice also actually that it comes out more expensive so that is something to take into consideration on to the CPU side of things not much change from wedge and from Roy from Joker price decrease for the 13600K from the 5600X and for the 12500 and we had the most number of price decreases this month for CPUs from wash with 4 price drops and no price increases prices for CPUs are generally more stable compared to GPUs the hit to the price of the 13th gen is probably expected considering that 14th gen already came out there is some news that there is a new slate of 40 series cards of Nvidia rumored to becoming out soon but that hasn't been reflected in the prices yet and yun nga parang cheese mis palang hindi pa talaga confirmed so on the 3 main points for this video number 1 SSD and RAM prices have gone up considerably if you can wait I would wait on those if you bought earlier this year good for you those were really good prices number 2 there is no such thing as a Christmas sale for PC hardware at least dito sa atin again I have a video saying that if you can buy from Amazon there are some parts na sobrang mura talaga and if you are comfortable na medyo alanganin yung warranty possibilities then Amazon is a good option but at least for the local retailers historically based on the data that we have wala masyadong discounts especially on this kind of marquee items na yung matunog na items 40 series 30 series GPUs 70 series for AMD and for the 7000 series AMD CPUs 5000 series 13th 14th gen for intel I guess moving forward I will need to update with the 14th gen prices so maybe next month December or baka january 2024 but no such thing as Christmas discounts for PC hardware from the local shops and lastly just on the monthly movement of prices not a lot of change for GPUs and CPUs with that said if you are thinking of buying yourself or your loved one a PC component for an upgrade or a full rig these are the prices ballpark you might want to take into consideration you might also want to take into consideration our shop hardware sugar I won't plug it too hard you know where to find us you know how to reach us wherever you buy your stuff if you do end up pulling the trigger I hope you enjoy it enjoy the games that you play at least yung siguro sa Christmas season maraming discount sa games steam sale epic sale for sure daming good deals nun so get your hardware ready because the software will definitely be discounted thanks for watching kasama na rin yung excellent table management namin and CPU cooler repasting sa cleaning we also clean and repaste GPUs na sa makati yung physical store namin and you can also buy from our site www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up to date yung inventory kung instock yung item sa amin available yung sa site we also ship nationwide thanks for watching and maybe one of these days
