Earlier this month information appeared online suggesting that Nvidia had (somewhat quietly) ended production of the GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card.

Samsung to Cease DDR3 Memory Production By the End of 2023!
The days of DDR3 memory as a modern and relevant tech are, of course, mostly gone now. – Oh sure, there are still plenty of systems running on the RAM, and perfectly happily too I might add. In terms of a 2022 system designs, however, quite frankly, I’d be a…
