Because they choose not to go full idiot though. They could make their top-line cards to compete if they slam enough into a pipeline and require a dedicated PSU to compete, but that’s not where their product line intends to go. That’s why it’s smart.

For reference: AMD has the most deployed GPUs on the planet as of right now. There’s a reason why it’s in every gaming console except Switch 1/2, and why OpenAI just partnered with them for chips. The goal shouldn’t just making a product that churns out results at the cost of everything else does, but to be cost-effective and efficient. Nvidia fails at that on every level.

this openai partnership really stands out, because the server world is dominated by nvidia, even more than in consumer cards.

  Yup. You want a server? Dell just plain doesn’t offer anything but Nvidia cards. You want to build your own? The GPGPU stuff like zluda is brand new and not really supported by anyone. You want to participate in the development community, you buy Nvidia and use CUDA.

    I helped raise requirements for two servers recently, an alternative to nvidia wasn’t even on the table

  Actually…not true. Nvidia recently became bigger in the DC because of their terrible inference cards being bought up, but AMD overtook Intel on chips with all major cloud platforms last year, and their Xilinix chips are slowly overtaking the sales of regular CPUs for special purposes processing. By the end of this year, I bet AMD will be the most deployed brand in datacenters globally. FPGA is the only path forward in the architecture world at this point for speed and efficiency in single-purpose processing. Nvidia doesn’t have a competing product.

    we’re talking GPUs, idk why you’re bringing FPGA and CPUs in the mix

Then why does Nvidia have so much more money?

  Because of vendor lock in

Unfortunately, this partnership with OpenAI means they’ve sided with evil and I won’t spend a cent on their products anymore.

    Oh so you support grifting off the public domain? Maybe grow some balls instead of taking the status quo for granted.
