    Blackwell is basically the newest Fermi. Data Center first design that get’s offloaded to run games while requiring a nuclear power plant to run it. The cherry-picked gen on gen uplift is shit, the prices are shit and everyone is still going to buy it because they’re the only game in town. Truth is, till the competition authorities break NVIDIA up, we won’t get a decent GPU gen at prices normal people can pay.

      We definitely need far more competition in the semiconductor space. We are in an oligopoly-like position across many (most?) semiconductor segments and GPUs are completely dominated by Nvidia.

      I remember the Founders Edition 1080’s… sounded like a jet taking off at full load.
