New details reveal that former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang used circular financing to fund AI startups and absorb excess TSMC wafers and memory rather than letting GPU prices drop
A handful of people in a recent thread tried to suggest to me that Huang at least still had gamers and hobbyists in his heart, whereas a new CEO likely wouldn’t. LOOOL. How’s that leather coat taste, coatlickers?
Turns out his CFO literally said “please stop putting all of our eggs in the AI basket and abandoning the gaming side” and got fucking mansplaining as a reward and told she was a deer in headlights. Jensen was the one that was fucking over the gamers who bootlick him at every turn.
Fuck AMD too, the gamers fucking saved their asses during the Intel shit, kept them alive, and they give us “we’re data center first now”. Fuck all these giants right up the ass, time to crowd source our own lithos 🤣
Okay, say I agreed to build a GPU company from the ground up, with a Gamer’s first corporate policy - guaranteed by the fact that I’m a 55 year old disabled gamer who’s been playing almost since the very beginning of gaming (yeah, I played the fuck out of pong and the Atari 2600 as a kid and still game almost daily.) My only downside is my health, which isn’t great, but before I was forced to drop out due to health reasons, I almost finished my bachelor’s in video game development online. I lack exactly 3 classes to finish my degree. I also have 2 sons in high school who could eventually take over and would absolutely be in the Gamer’s first mindset. This is all hypothetical, but, would Gamers support a company like that, or raise hell everytime I made a decision gamers couldn’t all agree with, which would be all if them?
Pointless hypothetical unless you have a couple billion left over.
But the answer is there will always be fanboys who will approve of everything and haters who will hate everything you do. And some folks who don’t give much of a shit either way unless you make really good or bad decisions
Semi-reluctant AMD ‘fanboy’ here, have hated Nvidia for almost a decade now.
All of this, where we are now with LLMs… this all started because Huang decided consumer grade GPUs can actually do full real time raytraced lighting, the movie grade shit that you normally do frame by frame with a farm of gpus.
That didn’t work well, so, Neural Upscaling. That was also fairly shitty, so, gen 2 gen 3 gen 4 gen 5, still too shitty, framgen, multiframegen! Which is also often still shitty.
Oh also, because Jensen says this is the new paradigm, uh, i guess fuck everything thats ever been done in terms of optimizing lighting in game engines, throw that all out, make it work with new paradigm.
Oh thats basically fundamentally impossible to do sanely and performantly, on affordable hardware? Clearly you just don’t understand how to use Unreal Engine, what do you mean you don’t own a GPU that costs as much as your last entire PC builf?
4k60fps ultra? Fuck you! That’ll be $4000.
(not counting fake frames…)
This is all Huang’s fault.
And thats without even going into creating the largest financial bubble in the history of mankind which will pop into the Greatest Depression in recorded history, very likely end the USD’s status as world reserve currency.
… so yeah, I semi-reluctantly ‘fanboy’ for AMD for a few reasons, some of those reasons being they didn’t initiate all of the above.
Anyone who is an Nvidia fanboy is definitionally an idiot that understands nothing about this industry.
Nvidia’s been treating gamers like shit since they killed 3dfx and idiots still fanboy for them… If it hadn’t been supported by these idiots for all these years we probably wouldn’t have reached this situation

I hope they’re feeling betrayed.

… do you know literally anything about chip fabrication at a mass scale?
Photolithography?
Thermal oxidation?
Vapor deposition?
Megasonics?
Plasma ashing?
Or are these gonna be artisinal, bespoke, lovingly handcrafted GPUs?

Yo! I’m also a “fan” of his cousin’s company for the same reasons as you. The Nvidia stans have gaslit me into thinking I was some kind of freak
Your take needs to be in the history books that cover this fiasco
I still can’t beleive the AMD head lady Lisa Su is his cousin.
Reality needs better scriptwriters, this shit is too ridiculous and wacky to be real, but as far as I can tell… it is real!
Fuck man, I dunno, I’m going with “2012 was the apocalypse, we phase shifted into the clown dimension” at this point.
Imagine a world in which AMD bought Nvidia instead of ATI.
… why do you hurt me like this … ?
Imagine a world where AMD built their own GPU division and ATI remained independent
Got a source for the comments? I am interested.
Nvidia’s been treating gamers like shit since they killed 3dfx and idiots still fanboy for them… If it hadn’t been supported by these idiots for all these years we probably wouldn’t have reached this situation
Wish 3DFX stuck around…
… Coat lickers?
Run out of boots?
He had gamers and hobbyists willing to pay top dollar in his heart.
To quote his cousin, “we’re a data center company first”
Have these people been in a coma for the past 5 years?
