With the restrictions imposed by the United States for the import of electronic products, among which are included graphics cards, these they could go on to pay an extra 25% in tariffs. To avoid paying these fees, NVIDIA was considering moving its logistics center to Taiwan, an idea that AMD seems to have liked, which, according to what they tell us in UDNwill continue this movement to move your logistics center to the neighboring country.
For now, and a few days into next year, the United States has deferred the payment of these taxes for 9 more months. After this grace period, if the United States does not decide to defer again (or eliminate this payment), with this movement of its distribution center they can avoid the rise of a quarter to the already inflated price of graphics cards in recent months.
But avoid this type of tax not the only reason for AMDalso the situation of some manufacturers in Taiwan allows the entire manufacturing process be done right therewith the consequent saving in sending components from one factory to another. This could take Hong Kong’s role away from turning Taiwan in the new key logistics center next to Singapore.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
