Nvidia Shield TV Pro price jumps $100 due to AI-driven component costs · 4 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Nvidia has increased the price of its Shield TV Pro streaming device by $100, bringing the new retail price to $299.99. The company attributes this price hike to the rising costs of components, particularly memory, which have been significantly impacted by the ongoing AI boom. Despite the Shield TV Pro's aging Tegra X1+ processor, its continued manufacturing and sales are now subject to the same supply chain constraints affecting newer technology. AI

IMPACT Confirms that AI's impact on component costs is affecting even older hardware, potentially raising prices across the tech landscape.

RANK_REASON This is a price increase for an existing hardware product due to supply chain issues, not a new product release or core AI research.
