They should try entering the desktop GPU market.
/thread
If it ever becomes the standard desktop processor, they’ll pull the rug like they have with graphics processors and push everything to AI datacenters.
Hard pass
Yeah, but, it’s Nvidia, the same company who’s a key figure on the AI-Govt circlejerk.
The absolute best thing we can do is boycott them AND OpenAI, because neither company gives a F about the People.
While Huang and Nvidia continue their current trajectory, I’ll never buy another Nvidia product.
Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that’d sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.
Absolutely.
I’m not buying this news, and if I’m wrong I’m not buying the product. Fuck Nvidia
I will not buy another nvidia retail product again. Could make an exception for a second hand shield from an earlier generation, but nvidia is dead to me. AMD is my new best friend.
AMD is still trying to get in on the AI cash pile. The only thing they have going for them is pretty solid Linux support. I still pick them over nvidia and intel, they just aren’t much better than the others when it comes to “consumer first” ideologies
I’m a fickle mistress and sadly also a captured audience so totally expect to hate them one day… for now it plays mhwilds hi res on ultra great on garuda.
Good, I won’t be buying them either.
A lot of companies could do stuff. We know it’d all go to AI slop anyway, so whatever.
Yeah I think I’d rather stick a CPU up my ass then use a Nvidia CPU an any computer I own.
This is more about the Arm X925 core than about Nvidia. The X925 is a new superscalar ARM core that’s the first one competitive with current x64 at single threaded compute.
Apple M-series are ARM64. Are they not competitive?
They get fairly close from what I understand. But while they are more power efficient, they’re still behind in pure speed. The X925 goes for speed at the cost of power, at least per this:

I don’t see where this beats a comparable latest M-series chip.
Anyone beating Apple at this game would be significant news even if it consumes 25x the power.
There’s probably a reason why Apple or any offering thereof has zero mention here.
Can’t wait to install a 5GB driver bundle for my CPU that leaves shit all over the place. No thanks.
so… they have spare production capacity then?
I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.
I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.
It would be nice to see hardware smugglers.
If the tariffs last, emergence of some smugglers is unavoidable.
Add to that that they would be tracked by Kash Patel’s ruined FBI, and the risk assessment is even more in favor of smuggling.
If you think China is consumers’ friend, think otherwise.
well they start making decent drivers for linux or will they suck ass like they do now
Big lol. I’ll believe it when I see benchmarks.
I mean, of course they could.
But where’s the money in that?
