The Ethereum and Bitcoin prices are rising. Therefore, many fear that GPU prices could also rise. However, a new mining boom is very unlikely.

The demand of GPUs is decreasing. Following the bursting of the mining bubble, sales at Nvidia and AMD continued to decline significantly in Q4 2018.

AMD

Yesterday AMD released its Q3 2018 earnings. Sales and profits increased again despite losses in the GPU market.

AMD allegedly plans a new version of Polaris as Polaris 30 with 12nm structure width. A leaked RX 590 with benchmark confirms this.

The Polaris series from AMD will have a refresh. The successors of the RX 570 and RX 580 will be made in 12nm and will start in October and November.
