- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there’s a real cost to AI doomerism.
- Without naming names, Huang blamed “very well-respected people” for end-of-the-world narratives.
- Huang said the rhetoric is “scaring people” from making investments in the improvement of AI.
Ehhh, yeah. No Jensen. Get back to me with that once your stock is 10 bucks a share and I’ll believe that nvidia is suffering for anti AI sentiment.
How about, you focus on GPUs that don’t cost 3 months income? Better yet, pivot to making memory as well as graphics chips. FFS.
They design graphics chips; they don’t manufacture them. Nvidia designing memory wouldn’t help with the RAM shortage when all the manufacturers are already running at capacity.
Wasn’t aware of that, but now that you mention it, my own RTX 3060 is an MSI Ventus… (why did I not latch onto this one? Geez, sometimes I’m dim.)
The pennies, they be dropping…
TIL, thanks!
Not quite. When Nvidia releases a new chip, they’ll release a bunch of documentation that indicates how the chip needs to be used. How to configure it. Cooling requirements. Etc. Each Board manufacturer (like MSI) uses this documentation to manufacture the physical boards that you buy.
What OP was referring to is that NVidia doesn’t physically have a plant with a bunch of people in bunny suits walking around a clean room. Instead, they contract manufacturers and send the designs for them to build.
It’s like how Apple designs phones but Foxconn actually builds them.
Samsung was the manufacturer for the RTX 30-series chips. Then groups like MSI package them for consumers (doing things like adding cooling and outputs).
