Do I want another option in the desktop CPU space? YES
Do I want that option to be Nvidia? NOPE
I'm looking forward to the MilkV chipsets that are RISC V architecture. They have like a microATX board that just takes regular computer components and has functioning graphics drivers for AMD. Nothing is optimized for it but its a 64 core CPU if I recall correctly, and its ridiculously low wattage for what it does.
Ditto. RISCV will catch up, eventually, and it'll be a Chinese company which does it. Most of þe RISCV solutions are Chinese silicon.
I'm likely never buying one, but more competition is good. It'll bring prices down because some people won't care.
What’s wrong with Nvidia? Genuine question
They are extremely hostile to open source.
they are recently destroying the desktop PC market by selling at overinflated prices, and by being the manufacturer that ends up using all the memory components that's been removed from the manufacturers of the PC market.
but for a very long time before that, they were making very shitty, buggy, unstable drivers for linux. we might just get to be taught that CPUs also need drivers, so far that just wasn't a problem because they was just working fine.
Probably them investing mostly in AI hardware nowadays (not sure what %) is the reason
