That will result in massive order cancellations at NVDA, MU, AVGO, SNDK, etc., because no one needs the chips, networking, memory, or processor power," he added.
Well that is just false as there is pent up demand in the consumer markets that should be more than enough to make chip makers good money but I guess they don’t consider us regular folks real customers anymore
But graphics cards, CPUs, RAM, and other components needed in data centers are a far cry from the same components used in home and office desktops and laptops. It’s like trying to sell parts used in F1 race cars on the consumer car market. Technically, there will be buyers, but the vast majority of these parts will remain unsold because demand for such specialized components is negligible in the general consumer market.
I’m not sure if it’s fully a bubble, or if the bubble is partly being used as a smoke screen to hide the upfront cost of redesigning computing infrastructure.
A lot of the time, I think AI is just the branding layer. The real goal is top-to-bottom SaaS.
Like, they’re letting these AI companies hold the bag for building datacenters which will then get scooped by various companies like microsoft and google to offer virtualized home computing through a client.
No business does anymore. I maintain that’s why all the cars are the same 4-6 colors these days. Black, white, grey, and silver aren’t offensive to the corporations that buy fleets. Blue and red have to be there so they can do “patriotic” displays.
Oh, and I’m really quite sorry to all of you that hadn’t noticed that all the cars are the same colors these days. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
I know it’s been a thing for decades, but even in the '80s I could still walk on a lot and find yellow, green, orange and purple cars. These days it seems those are all special order.

Especially since those parts carry a significantly higher premium than consumer parts.
and you know nvidia isnt gonna sell the shit at a reasonable price.
I keep hearing this from people and it’s not true. People want GPUs for playing games not running AI so the backlog of chips isn’t useful to anyone.
If nvidia had 0 AI chip buyers I will guarantee you they will come running back to consumers until the next fad.
It’s not interchangeable though. I don’t need an A100 at home.
What I meant was changing their production capacity to consumers.
My point was that chip manufacturers will have customers besides AI, not that the data center chips will have other customers
Pent up demand at a much lower price point.

They’re all going with weird grey clay colours. Often in mat. It’s really weird and I don’t like it.
I should be able to tell someone what colour my car is, I don’t want to have to go, oh well it’s a sort of dull concrete but slightly bluer.
That was the biggest thing I liked about my SAABs. No matter what color they were, no other car in the lot looked like that.
And here I am with my douchebag orange car right next to my super candy apple green wrapped wagon…
Yeah, I can’t stand cars in colors that aren’t colors.
It’s been this way for decades, this is not a new phenomena and it is not a conspiracy - these things are driven by consumers.
