What worries me isn't why: "we got to sell to big datacentres, fuck desktop customers".
Or the AI bubble bursting: even if generative models find some use cases, they won't justify the investment, so nVidia's "shovel seller in a gold rush" situation will end.
Or what nVidia will do afterwards: "fuck, we need desktop customers to buy our things as they did."
What worries me is that, once nVidia goes through all silly dance, suckers will still go back to buying nVidia, tails waggling, almost as if saying "call me a good boi".
People will buy the top performing products. Not a surprise at all.
Nvidia won't recover from this...AMD is going to sweep the market, which will mean games are built to be AMD first
It takes decades to recover from a misplay like this. They just handed over the market on a silver platter, the fuck you to gamers barely even matters
You mean the same AMD that just announced a deal where they're devoting 20% of their CPU AND GPU production to Meta AI?
Yeah, they aren't going to be doing crap for gamers either.
Ditto. Most of my GPUs were nVidia, except the last one, an AMD. But I'm fully aware @inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world is right; and also that the only reason they aren't shitting now on desktop customers is because they can't.
Plus the political landscape reached a point that, when reasonable to do so, I'm flat out refusing products from USA. Enough of this United-Statian mafia shit. If mainland China manufactures get something of comparable quality into the market I'll give it priority over AMD/nVidia/Intel. That's a matter for 10y from now, though.
Like dogs begging for a treat...
