I think nVidia is only getting more research and development dollars because of the bitcoin craze. Its gotta be taking some of that cash and making things faster and better. Prices and hardware in short supply will quickly come down.

Unfortunately, nvidia (or amd) does not get extra cash from this craze. Not even partners and oems. Most profits are reaped by retailers and resellers

  They don't get the benefit of markup, but they do have the benefit of inventory flying off the shelves. I'm not going to guess at nVidia or AMD's margins, but I'm sure they are quite happy with the additional income from GPU sales. This turns into more R&D, which AMD needs.

  Nvidia's profit margin seems to be swelling. https://ycharts.com/companies/NVDA/profit_margin https://ycharts.com/companies/NVDA/profit_margin I would kind of expect that to be the case as each card they issue has a very high initial cost to design, test, promote, etc. and now cards that were getting "old" have suddenly shot up in demand.
