Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 5 weeks agoSure, but when you jump in the middle of another 2 people’s conversation to say you disagree, it’s not up to the other people to automatically know that you’re actually disagreeing with something different to what they’re discussing lol

that is literally what you’re discussing… they never said anything about gaming: they just said GPUs… just admit you misunderstood mate

Nvidia AI gpu’s don’t have <16GB of RAM. They have 48+. Some have over 180GB. They were talking about desktop GPUs, the RTX series.

there was no mention of desktop, OR RTX
and VRAM limitations almost certainly don’t apply to chinese GPUs: the process node is the only limitation in chinas manufacturing capability
i would absolutely not be surprised if they have a 256GB+ card that is equal to an 8yo nvidia/amd card at 1/5th the price and just dump more in… for the same reason that GPUs are better than CPUs for models, many GPUs is better than a single fast GPU
and that’s still only barely relevant because as i said previously, workstation GPUs etc don’t need that - there are plenty of workloads that fit the bill for a card from 8 years ago, and they never mentioned anything about large cards or ML workloads or gaming

They specifically pointed out that Nvidia GPUs have less than 16GB of RAM on their lower and mid end cards. They’re talking about desktop cards, clearly, because this is only a complaint about desktop cards as I just pointed out. Is 188GB less than 16GB? No.
You jumped into the middle of someone else’s conversation and misunderstood what was being discussed. Take the L and move along.
