They sell their non consumer gaming hardware for multiple times the profit. As llm usage keeps increasing I would not be shocked if Nvidia exited the consumer gpu market as it becomes smaller and smaller part of its business.
- torginus 3y agoI feel like this is a perilous outlook - LLMs and other AI might not turn out to be the success stories we want them to be - we are still banking on their future potential instead of their present capabilities. We are with AGI at a similar point we were with self-driving cars circa 2016(?). Back then it was predicted that each car will need a super powerful AI brain to be able to drive itself. We didn't get self driving and I'd bet these fancy driving assistants that we have today in cars don't justify the technological expense that went into them. Gaming is a solid, established business and has been the backbone of NVIDIA's profits. The AI hype is very high now, and it's not clear where its going to go in the future, but it's not going to be stable.
- nucleardog 3y agoSame arguments apply to crypto it seems, but that didn’t stop nvidia basically leaving the gaming market high and dry while the crypto market vacuumed up all of their cards. I agree that’s a perilous approach for nvidia… but based on past behaviour that doesn’t seem to bother them.
