The next guy is going to completely gut the gaming department, isn’t he?
It’s been bad for the last few years, but at least Jensen has been there from the start, when nvidia was a gaming company. I can’t imagine the typical bean counter ceo will “waste” a single atom of silicon on a consumer gaming gpu. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they stop working with Nintendo. Even if the AI crash is real and happening, datacenter isn’t going to slow down that much.
I fear this outcome too. I felt that as long as Jensen was there, geforce was safe. Kind of how Steam is safe as long as Gaben is kicking. Without Jensen there geforce might get left behind by NVIDIA.
The only positive I can see that maybe could happen, is that now the AMD and NVIDIA CEO’s are not related, AMD might start competing like they do with Intel.
There’s a nonzero chance he’ll start a new gpu company. Seems like these kinds of guys pretty much never take their millions to retire on a tropical island somewhere. Maybe even gaming, who knows.
Or he’ll just totally take the Chinese honeypot and go head up Lisuan or whatever other Chinese company. Though tbh I don’t know how much actual relevant modern technical knowledge he personally has, as that is not the same thing as running the company. But if it was worth it to them to literally spy on him for years, I assume they’d make a pretty ridiculous offer to get him in Chinese tech. And considering he’s likely about to go through one of the costliest divorces in history, he might be a little more tempted to take it.

I fear you’re right.
