    The next hardware manufacturer saying “Actually, we do GPUs for gaming” will be King/Queen of the world.

    Also “Luigi, we need you so bad.”

    She’s right though. Look at their revenue. Data centers are 10x their gaming division.

    Gaming pulls in less than 1B profit a year. An absolute drip compared to their Datacenter business.

    I’m surprised they bother with gaming at all once you realize what a side project it basically is for them in terms of revenue.

      Wut? Wait. The AMD CEO is the cousin of the nvidia CEO? Like, the CEO of the number two GPU chip company is cousin of the number one company y, and effectively there isn’t really a number three so this GPU market really is really a family monopoly?

        It’s pretty f. weird that Lisa Su is the CEO despite being so closely related to Jensen, I would dislike this if I were an AMD investor. However this is not a family monopoly, since neither Su or Jensen own these companies, not substantially anyway. (well below 1% & 3 something % owned respectively) Meaning of shareholders at large disliked Lisa Su’s way of doing things, she would be booted without too many hurdles I would think & the same is true for Jensen.

        Welcome to late stage capitalism! Market fundamentalism was always a lie, the american dream has been dead for over a century.

    At this point, we’re gonna need Valve to get into the GPU business or else PC gaming is going to collapse

      Once I tried to design my own open-source GPU architecture.

      BTW if anyone wants to reuse the name “VideoDSP” for the shader cores, then feel free to do it.

      Not really. With AAA maybe, but there are millions of great games out there that run on basically phone hardware. And with valve creating a translation layer for x86 to arm, all of them are basically in reach.

    “…if you believe⁠—which I do, deeply⁠—that computing in many ways equates to intelligence. So the more compute you have, the more intelligent you are…”

    Why did nobody in the room interrupt at this point and challenge the validity of the assertion. Sick of these people getting away with spouting nonsense

    Glad the article goes on to disagree but i want to see these challenges happening in real time.

    Pack it up boys, it’s done. No GPUs for PCs in a few years. Hope at least the chinese step up their game
