I hope that AI will never: - have emotions - have self-awareness - express creativity Why? Because that would be the end of humanity. In such a case, AI will feel "superior" like humans do to other animals. And we know how that wi

if TSMC decided to charge more then Nvidia would profit the most. Simple reason is that TSMC has to offer same pricing to all customers or face regulation issues. But expensive wafers is an issue for those with lower margins not the king of

I suggest looking into Nvidia's DGX and DSX systems. Basically, everything of a data center except for RAM+SSD comes now from Nvidia as a vendor. Nvidia's margin is so high because they deliver way more than just a GPU.

Everyone is looking what Big Tech is doing with their cashflow without understanding what is really going on. What is the TAM of AI and therefore the future AI compute demand? Answer this question and you might understand what is going on.

The analogy with IBM mainframe completely ignores Murphy's law which came up and lead to the small and fast chips we have today. But Murphy's law is dead. No future chip will leapfrog easily current chips because we have reached h

And what about the extra energy consumption of the RTX 5070 TI vs. a iGPU? If you go GPU cloud then you can save on energy as well in your PC. Less energy means also less noise by the way. To get an idea, if you go gaming via cloud then fas

On huge GPU clusters running inferencing the utilization of GPUs is key. Imagine you have 1 million GPUs and you have 99% utilization of theoretical performance in the system with inferencing. That would mean 10k of GPUs are basically idle

AMD was desperate enough to sell 10% of their company to get 1 customer. The issue here is now, that every large customer of AMD will now probably ask for equity. AMD has put itself into a pit hole with that deal. If I were Hyperscaler CEO,

My cost base of Nvidia is $1 so for me to lose is that Nvidia gets back to way before COVID valuation. Nvidia is more worth than $1 per share on gaming alone.

And you have that right. And now imagine what will happen when OpenAI makes deals with Nvidia and AMD. Do you think Hyperscalers will just watch? I expect Musk to make a $1 trillion deal soon. I guess, that's why he wants to get the $1
