This is actually because of Trump. If the man would have some kind of common sense and not ruin decades of cooperation…

You just don’t understand his master plan! He needs a third term to see this out \s
And a transplant quadruple bypass and three hips joints.
idk why there are so many images of the flag of china photoshopped onto computer chips but I find the trend strangely funny
PRoCessor hehe
Next up, cards with RTX 6090 performance for $150 on Temu.
6000d with 48gb gddr7 at 1100gb/s bandwidth, or just H20s, should be sold to us for cheap if Nvidia can’t sell them. H20 at 96gb and 4tb/s is awesome.
There’s still a price that compares well to multiple 5090s that is more suitable to tasks.
There goes the NASDAQ.
Isnt’t NASDAQ at all-time high, and keep rising, despite all the instabilities and troubles? I don’t think NASDAQ would be affected.
It is ~14% of NASDAQ s weight. 9%of S&P500 #1 on each.
It is responsible for ~40% of the growth in value in NASDAQ IN the past couple years.
That’s a hard fall if it does.

It’s not just the chips that keeps NVIDIA ahead, it’s the 20ish years of optimizing their software across every industry.
Joncash2@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Exactly right! This why China is banning the chips. They caught up in hardware and now need to catch up in software. If they continue to allow people to use NVIDIA chips, then their software will never progress as they won’t have users to optimize them.

This is more a tit-for-tat with Trump tariffs and trade embargoes. I don’t think the Chinese state leadership cares about going heads up with NVIDIA in the public market, even if they’re hosting the inferior brand (for now). They’ve been operating as a second-best option in manufacturing and tech for decades as they built up their capacity.
But this kind of power move is a kick in the teeth to some of Trump’s wealthiest supporters. It gives Chinese diplomats enormous leverage as they go into another round of trade negotiations with a country whose economy increasingly revolves around making and selling chipsets.

Huwei and SMIC are iterating too fast. As they get good enough yields on current/last generation, they move up/announce new generations that freeze a bit of demand. I think they are doing this to get good pricing for SMIC and local designs. It doesn’t help that all the Trump sycophants are calling him brilliant for enslaving China to “NVIDIA’s 4th best chips and software stack”.

Optimization? Did you mean to write monopolistic, anti-competitive, and unethical practices?
Because if there’s one thing Nvidia knows how to do, it’s to play dirty.

Right…optimizing their software to generate revenue and increase vendor lock-in, that’s how we optimize during the Enshittification Era

And usually open source software wins the compute efficiency battles anyways.

This describes pretty much every large company.

Lol optimizing! Yeah I guess they eventually fix their bugs sometimes.
