Nvidia datacentre revenues surpasses gaming for first time
- mooman219 6y agoIsn't this more that they announced new cards coming later this year, and also started swapping over their production capacity for the 20 series over to the 30 series? Datacenter growth is important, but we're in the waning stage of the Nvidia GPU cycle right now. Datacenter growth has some more ground to cover before this breakdown is convincing.

- mooman219 6y agoCurrent production cycle. At the end of a Nvidia production cycle for a gpu iteration, their gaming sales numbers historically decrease before their new card series is released. I'm not sure about the factors at play that lead into that, but I assume less marketing, lower availability, and high market saturation. The point of my first comment is that the timing of this breakdown doesn't encapsulate the full picture, and getting a handle on their relative numbers would mean looking at a few cycles over a longer period. I agree that they have "nowhere else to go but up", but the comparison in the article listed is a bit shallow.
