RTX 5080 16 GB China spot price rises 2000 yuan on GDDR7 squeeze

The Die Brief Desk, after @harukaze5719

GDDR7 supply pressure is pushing the RTX 5080 16 GB China spot price to 14,500-15,000 yuan, up from 12,700-13,500 yuan.

ChannelGate calls the jump about 2,000 yuan. It ties the move to upstream memory pressure, not a new die or higher clock.

The filing reads the cause as memory allocation. GDDR7 capacity is being pulled toward HBM, so consumer cards lose available memory and material cost rises.

A 16 GB 5080 is also being treated as end-of-line stock before a 24 GB replacement. The filing floats that replacement near 19,999 yuan.

The same die and memory size now carry a higher channel cost. The document does not measure a new silicon part.

What remains unmeasured is the 24 GB 5080 and the US/EU retail path.

This is a memory-allocation event, not an architecture event.

After @harukaze5719. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
