The good new is that Nvidia's high GPU prices motivate everyone (Intel, AMD, ARM, Google, etc.) to try and tackle the problem by making new chips, making more efficient use of current chips, etc. For all the distributed computing efforts that have existed (prime factorization, SETI@Home, Bitcoin, etc.), I'm surprised there isn't some way for gamers to rent out use of their GPU's when idle. It wouldn't be efficient, b…
They’re all pretty motivated, they’ve been motivated for years, and almost nothing is happening. This situation isn’t exactly a poster child for the Efficient Markets Hypothesis. Every year just sounds like “Nvidia’s new consumer GPUs are adding new features, breaking previous performance ceilings, running games at huge resolutions and framerates. Their datacenter cards are completely sold out because they can spin s…
AMD compute is nowhere compared to NVIDIA. NVIDIA wanted to buy ARM, has got its finger in RISC-V, but apart from that, they don't really care. To be fair AMD has done decent with GPUs, but never enough to dethrone NVIDIA, whose playbook for the past few gens is "just make everything bigger than last gen and increase the frequency." Surely AMD could have chosen the same lazy approach to surpass the 4090 only just, but instead they didn't, so it's still NV undefeated in its space because AMD forgot to squeeze the last 1% out of their card.
The market is powerless if the competitors aren't really competing. Intel is the only chance, unless they manage to get their own Taiwanese CEO somehow related to Huang and Su.
