NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together

  Nvidia should sign every long term contract possible. It’s the most valuable company on Earth but few people actually use A.I. and Switch 2 sales aren’t going to justify the price.

  I’m not saying A.I. is worthless. It can never live up to the hype and most consumers don’t have datasets. Something incredibly useful for medical science and astronomy is not really fit for purpose elsewhere.

    Other than Nvidia, nobody is making money from ai.

    Especially when your plan for AI is to force it on everyone not recognizing if you need to force a product it’s a shitty endeavor and won’t be long term.

    I use it to have it write stories of our cats and an imaginary cat having adventures with a princess for my kindergarten kid. It’s really good at it :)

      Do you do that enough to justify Nvidia’s stock price? I sometimes ask it stupid questions as a novelty but that isn’t something worth paying for.

  I think this means Intel’s Arc GPUs are dead. $5 Billion seems like a small price to pay for NVIDIA to remove a potential future competitor off the market.

    Yes this would be my fist reaction, when an oligopolistic market has large transactions ( that weren't mandated by a competition regulator . . . "develop new chips 'together '" . . . - [cough] - cart [cough] el

    Not sure they were incapable of improving, but they were definitely behind everything else, especially on drivers.

    The likely result of this is licensing NVIDA for igpu design. Seems anti competitive, but should catch up to AMD, and better for consumers as long as AMD not killed by it.

      Intel’s drivers were/are getting better fast. Their b580 remains a great value.

    They released a statement saying that Intel‘s GPU‘s will continue to be manufactured, but I doubt they’re gonna put the same amount of effort into continuing to develop them.
