They should try entering the desktop GPU market.

I don’t think I’ll ever purchase anything made by NVIDIA
I mean if it’s 2nd hand… and the free (libre) drivers are good… and AMD hasn’t gone full Intel… maybe??
Does it work without ram?
Edit- removed “and”
Don’t worry. It will only be used for ai data centers.
Probably, of you throw enpugh cache at it. 😅
Are they hedging against AI collapsing? Not sure I see the motivation.
Yeah, that was my question. Why the hell would they develop new silicon when 99% of their fab space is dedicated to feeding the AI bubble?
Nvidia wants to be the equal to Intel and AMD. They want to be the 3rd major hardware house.
In ~2009, Intel didn’t renew a contract which allowed Nvidia to produce chipsets for Intel processors, and since then Nvidia has wanted a CPU of their own to keep from getting locked out again.
Nvidia tried to buy Arm when SoftBank was trying to sell, but that got scuttled. They had Tegra in the past which was a phone processor and successful in the Nintendo Switch. They can’t buy Intel because of poison pills in the x86 licensing between AMD and Intel which would kick in.
They’re doubling down. It’s a special CPU for more AI slop.
Yeah, but, it’s Nvidia, the same company who’s a key figure on the AI-Govt circlejerk.
The absolute best thing we can do is boycott them AND OpenAI, because neither company gives a F about the People.
While Huang and Nvidia continue their current trajectory, I’ll never buy another Nvidia product.
Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that’d sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.
Absolutely.
I’m not buying this news, and if I’m wrong I’m not buying the product. Fuck Nvidia
I will not buy another nvidia retail product again. Could make an exception for a second hand shield from an earlier generation, but nvidia is dead to me. AMD is my new best friend.
This is more about the Arm X925 core than about Nvidia. The X925 is a new superscalar ARM core that’s the first one competitive with current x64 at single threaded compute.
Apple M-series are ARM64. Are they not competitive?
They get fairly close from what I understand. But while they are more power efficient, they’re still behind in pure speed. The X925 goes for speed at the cost of power, at least per this:

Good, I won’t be buying them either.
Fuck that company
Yeah I think I’d rather stick a CPU up my ass then use a Nvidia CPU an any computer I own.
so… they have spare production capacity then?
I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.
I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.
It would be nice to see hardware smugglers.
A lot of companies could do stuff. We know it’d all go to AI slop anyway, so whatever.
well they start making decent drivers for linux or will they suck ass like they do now
