With China working hard to catch up with chip production, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing attractively priced Chinese made GPUs on the market. No idea how long it will take though.
What makes you think chinese firms wont also jump on the AI bandwagon?
someone with an actual CS/engineering background feel free to correct me, but i feel like the only way out of this for gamers is if someone finds a better type of chip for AI work. GPUs just happened to be the best thing for the job when the world went crazy, they were never designed specifically for these workloads.
If someone like tenstorrent can design a RISC-V chip for these LLM workloads, it might take some demand off gaming GPUs.
You’ve got a good point. I wouldn’t be surprised if nVidia was working on a dedicated platform for AI to cover this exact issue. Then again, I would be equally unsurprised if they just didn’t care and didn’t mind gutting the home gaming market for short-term profit.
The bubble might burst, but there are real use cases for AI out there and therefore you will see AI in use even after the current ponzi scheme has collapsed. You can do great voice and handwriting recognition now and speech generation and that won’t go away.
The only thing that will burst the bubble is electricity.
The Dotcom bubble burst due to Dark Fiber, all because massive Internet backbones were easy to build, and the last mile to people’s homes, was not.
The current electrical grid cannot support the number of data centers being built. The ones that are planned on top of that… Well dark data centers will be the new dark fiber.
There’s more complexity to it all, but really it all boils down to power for this particular bubble.
or lack of use? the current trend is fueled by hype that AI can do everything and will sub 50% of the work force, another nightmare scenario… however, current AI may be an Ok tool for some jobs and not much more, dsthe world does not need 200 Gwatts of AI datacentres to produce memes

the bubble won’t last that long

yes but the ridiculously heightened demand won’t be there
