They're going to concentrate on making AI gpus. So, the bitcoin miners went away, but the AI techies are ready to load their wagons with hardware. Wonder if series 4000 gpus will become scarce now. And prices rise.

 

 

 

I never watch YT channels where people put 'silly face' on splash screen. 

Have they come to the realisation, that they can't keep up the artificially inflated prices, so they're looking elsewhere now?

AI is the fastest growing technology. And GPU's have now become the very foundation of artificial intelligence. The demand for Nvidia's Hopper is off the chart, and their competition far behind.

There's no way Nvidia can make enough AI GPU's to satisfy demand. When Nvidia raises the price of AI GPU's, the demand remains almost the same: extremely high, if not exactly beyond measure.

The cryptocurrency mining generated demand for GPU's of a year or so ago, is nothing to the demand now starting up for mega stacked arrays of large AI GPU's.

Tesla, META, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), all racing to rule the AI world. And Nvidia is way out in front of the pack of hardware suppliers to all of them.

Bizarrely, I believe it has been proven in studies that people are much more likely to click on videos if they have silly faces on their thumbnails. No idea why... but it apparently is an effective method of clickbait.

Maybe i am too old, in my case it works opposite 🙂

I'm not old and it makes me cringe too. Social media I guess...

Me neither, but the OP obviously does 😉

 

It`s down to raw material cost TSMC have already warned that chip prices will rise by 15%, this will affect AMD also sadly It`s going to get more expensive to do a home build in the future, that 5090 is likely to be 2 grand plus and some AIB partners my not bother with GPU`s.

It seems that AI GPUs are fetching astronomical prices like $10K-$70K!!!  Can't blame them I guess, especially as a shareholder, but it sucks for gaming.

I’ve never understood why Intel nor AMD haven’t built their own fabrication plant right here in the USA.

Everyone knows that Intel CPU's are made in Ireland by Leprechaun using magic fairy dust. How else could they possibly work? Duh!

Labor costs, taxes, and regulation.  Cheaper to make things outside the U.S. and import them.

They did a long time ago but sold it to raise capital.
