MODERATORS
It won't matter, there won't be any cards available to buy anyway because 97% of their silicon will be going to AI accelerators to make CEO's richer.
Because useful tools that generate income are more valuable than things that make games look more better.
AI is what's justifying pumping over $7bn into R&D per year, which drives improvements to gaming cards too.
Every card they sell makes a CEO richer, among a huge swathe of other effects.
Of course they are valuable. But corporations will always prioritize that which generates value for themselves.
What good are those massive improvements to gaming cards when GPU costs spiral into the multiple thousands of dollars and become completely unavailable to 98% of gamers? 'Cause institutional buyers have no qualms dropping $20k per card, and that will inflate the market to an insane degree. Jensen knows this and will happily kick individual consumers right into the firepit.
"we shouldn't be happy we should make people that slow down innovation richer cause... uhh they have a monopoly"
Huh? They don't have a monopoly in any space, and have significant competitors. And I don't really see how they are slowing down innovation. I think it's fair to say that Nvidia are investing significanly in R&D, and is driving innovation more than anyone else in the industry for the moment.
I am guessing that dangling 3% are cards that go to YouTubers....
