I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he’s fucking Voldemort or something.
Jensen Huang!
gasps
Literally first time I see his name.
All of which keep buying his products…
People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren’t the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.
The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper, as if the only reason AMD exists is to subsidise their Nvidia purchase!
Nvidia’s greatest asset is the mindshare they have.
Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.
It’s getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.
The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn’t seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we’re still in this position.
Definitely. CUDA has had a long headstart, and Nvidia were very clever in getting it entrenched early on, particularly in universities and such. It’s also just… generally does the job.
My above comment was purely on the gaming side
100%
“I want change!”
*Doesn’t do anything to change*
“Why hasn’t anything changed?”
Who is he what did he do?
CEO of a company that makes the computer part that is most important for gamers. He has a net worth of about 100 billion USD
Their products are currently better than the competition and they make full use of their position.
They are known for very high prices, scummy marketing tricks, and abusing their small business partners.
The company briefly overtook Apple and Microsoft, becoming the most valuable company at around 3 trillion USD.

Because of AI hype
It’s not all hype.
nVidia has some SERIOUS R&D in the use of AI for the past 10 years.
But using AI in the graphic space… upscaling, downscaling, faking lighting, faking physics… This is all very useful in making videogames.
Then there was a leap in the way AI Image generation was done with the above hardware. And that opened up a whole new growing field.
It’s just some people took basic language models that have been around for 30 years and scaled them up with their hardware. And it was neat, and surprising some of the stuff a LLM would output. But not reliable.
And then suddenly a lot of layman’s got their hand on the LLM’s and thought it was the 2nd coming of Jesus, and started throwing big money at it… it will be surprise to no one who knows how these AI’s work that that big money isn’t going anywhere.
But those first two, is no hype. It’s a real viable use case for the AI, and money will be made there.
Co-founder and CEO of Nvidia.
Okay and for those of us not keeping up with the news, why/how did he insult its own userbase?
Didn’t this guy made us overpriced GPUs and Linux support was problematic before?
You’re the one who posted the meme, you tell us
Who is he what did he do?
I read this in Detective John Kimble’s voice.
He Is a tumaaah … on the IT industry
What did he do this time?
Apparently nothing OP cannot say a single thing.
Not OP, but he’s a billionaire. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. No amount of work they have done would earn billions.
