    At some point NVIDIA should just say they don’t care for the consumer market and there isn’t a shortage they are just deliberately not making enough.

      Most of the hardware manufacturing capacity is currently entirely focused on datacenter and AI stuff, be it GPUs or hard drives or RAM, because it currently seems to be a field with unlimited funding, but almost everyone can see it isn’t sustainable and won’t last for long.

      If you were a baker and suddenly making expensive cookies made you boatloads more money that baking bread, you wouldn’t spend time making a single loaf of bread until you could satisfy every cookie order first, no matter how many people were desperately in need of it.

        AI and DC doesn’t explain why NVIDIA has not increased production since the 1000 series.

        B2B had almost always been more profitable than selling to consumers. It’s so much easier to sell to 50 people than 50 million people.

        Honestly I’m surprised it took this long for them to essentially give the middle finger to consumers. They kept hinting it, lifting a finger, but never fully extending it.

    Oh man. Please let jensen be left holding the bag. Like epic level. He gets kicked out of the company and they sue him for his stock level of bag.

      What bag? Gamer’s are so small to NVIDIA now he’s not accountable to them in the slightest. Even when the AI bubble pops it will have made some people filthy rich. Unless NVIDIA is bankrupted he’ll be a hero.

    RDNA 5 is supposed to be available in 2027 with more competitive compute capabilities, including real RTX cores. If it lives up to the hype, I probably won’t care about Nvidia at that point.
