    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.

    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.

      AMD is still trying to get in on the AI cash pile. The only thing they have going for them is pretty solid Linux support. I still pick them over nvidia and intel, they just aren’t much better than the others when it comes to “consumer first” ideologies

    Can’t wait to install a 5GB driver bundle for my CPU that leaves shit all over the place. No thanks.

    The tegra boards are good on Linux. They need to get this out so software developers can work out the software kinks and hardware integrators make some good designs. I want a whole lot more Steam Machine sized devices to choose from

      Jensen has had dinner with Trump. I’m sure he donated in order to soften tariffs or get better deals. They’re all in the same club

    Do I want another option in the desktop CPU space? YES

    Do I want that option to be Nvidia? NOPE

      I’m likely never buying one, but more competition is good. It’ll bring prices down because some people won’t care.

        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.

          Nvidia is just the person selling pickaxes, blame the AI companies for paying insane amounts for memory

      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.

    If it ever becomes the standard desktop processor, they’ll pull the rug like they have with graphics processors and push everything to AI datacenters.

    Hard pass
