Of course it is.
If revenue fell by 90%, nvidia would spend much less on R&D and progress would be much slower.
If revenue doubled, nvidia would spend much more on R&D and progress would speed up.
If revenue fell to $0, nvidia would go out of business, spend $0 on R&D, and progress would halt.
There's a direct, although not linear, relationship. The more money there is, the faster progress is (as long as you trust nvidia to spend it wisely and execute)
I don't mine crypto, but I like fast tech, so I say let the money keep flooding in so we all benefit.
- floatboth 5y agoThe demand from gaming & workstation & datacenter is absolutely huge, revenue would not fall without buttcoiners because the GPUs would still fly off the shelves. In fact buttminers create a new risk for the vendors: whenever buttcoins seriously crash, the market will suddenly be flooded with used GPUs.
