New details reveal that former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang used circular financing to fund AI startups and absorb excess TSMC wafers and memory rather than letting GPU prices drop
Fuck AMD too, the gamers fucking saved their asses during the Intel shit, kept them alive, and they give us “we’re data center first now”. Fuck all these giants right up the ass, time to crowd source our own lithos 🤣
Okay, say I agreed to build a GPU company from the ground up, with a Gamer’s first corporate policy - guaranteed by the fact that I’m a 55 year old disabled gamer who’s been playing almost since the very beginning of gaming (yeah, I played the fuck out of pong and the Atari 2600 as a kid and still game almost daily.) My only downside is my health, which isn’t great, but before I was forced to drop out due to health reasons, I almost finished my bachelor’s in video game development online. I lack exactly 3 classes to finish my degree. I also have 2 sons in high school who could eventually take over and would absolutely be in the Gamer’s first mindset. This is all hypothetical, but, would Gamers support a company like that, or raise hell everytime I made a decision gamers couldn’t all agree with, which would be all if them?
Pointless hypothetical unless you have a couple billion left over.
But the answer is there will always be fanboys who will approve of everything and haters who will hate everything you do. And some folks who don’t give much of a shit either way unless you make really good or bad decisions

… do you know literally anything about chip fabrication at a mass scale?
Photolithography?
Thermal oxidation?
Vapor deposition?
Megasonics?
Plasma ashing?
Or are these gonna be artisinal, bespoke, lovingly handcrafted GPUs?
