    It’s wild that his opinion is meant to carry any weight on this issue at all

        The NSA whistleblower never worked for NVIDIA or any key position in the industry

        His opinion doesn’t carry any more weight than anyone else

          Agreed.
          Who a person is doesn’t matter at all to the truth of what they say.
          Even if they aren’t an Nvidia employee.

          I don’t need my dog to tell me, ~10% performance gains from one gen to the next, is shit.

          Lol he’s a computer expert. If everyone who has a valued opinion needed to … Work for the company they are criticizing… There could be no such thing as a critic

            He’s neither a GFX or AI/ML expert so his opinion carries less weight.

              I would take the opinion of someone capable of escaping the US government’s data tracking abilities on any hardware any day of the week.

              So… Exactly? Just is noteworthy if a smart SME also notices

                Would it be as noteworthy if Bill Waterson from QA at Veeva Systems said it?

                Doubt anybody’s quoting Bill

                  Generally if I’ve never heard of the person, I would answer no to this question. I’ve heard of Edward Snowden before.

    Moore’s law has been dead for a while. We are lucky to have marginal improvements. Nvidia doesn’t even need gaming gpus- they’re now a small part of their total revenue.

    As to monopoly, AMD and Intel haven’t even tried to compete at the high end. It’s like being angry for Ferrari having a monopoly on overpriced high end performance cars.
