It’s a constant problem with nvidia articles, sites love to make up unapologetic bullshit or cite ancient stuff as if it’s new.
A few months ago all the internet sites were abuzz with jensen’s “recent” comment that “nvidia is fully focused on ai now” and the article that is from makes it clear that it happened in the “mid 2010s”.
Gamersnexus actually had the citation on the screen with “by the mid 2010s” literally on screen, they still went with “recently” and refused to issue a correction or retraction (I asked).

Similarly, the “nvidia sells directly to mining farms!” articles from a few years ago, were citing an article that was an estimate of mining sales based on the hash rate… it never accused anyone of selling anything to anyone, but tech media didn’t bother reading the source, and once the first article got rolling everyone just cited that instead.

Just like with apple “parts/defect stories” news sites know these are potent money-makers that drive a lot of clicks, and frankly I think there is a lot of open fanboyism and hostility among tech media today. GN didn’t “accidentally” refuse to do a correction, they want to push that narrative. Just like the “long-term value is mathematically impossible” etc - we have been in a world where reviewers are openly feuding with one of the vendors for over a half decade over the direction of product development and the death of Moores law in terms of pricing and performance increases.
Winning rhetorical points in that debate is more important to tech media nowadays than little things like journalistic integrity, or reading your sources.

- paulmd 3y agovideos like this don't really help with the "openly feuding with nvidia" btw lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlWT_TdOK6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlWT_TdOK6s ran into this randomly, and just like the meltdown about how how "long-term value is mathematically impossible" this is another crazy video from one of the largest channels that literally exists just to snipe at NVIDIA over... something. Jump cuts back and forth etc. it's just crazy to me that this seems to be the track GN is taking lately, they seem more interested in this stuff than factually-accurate reporting now...
