Data centers and enterprise will always dwarf consumer hardware. AI has nothing to do with it. You're silly if you think otherwise.

- aleph_minus_one 2y ago> Data centers and enterprise will always dwarf consumer hardware. Before the current AI hype, except for some rather specialized applications, people had rather little use for GPU acceleration (GPGPU) in data centers.
- chneu 2y agoAgain, you're focusing on AI and GPU. Datacenter contracts have always been the bulk of sales for companies like Nvidia. One or two large datacenter contracts will make more money than all consumer hardware for companies like Nvidia. The margins are completely different.
- Aerroon 2y agoConsumer hardware is where the innovation slowly starts though. Without the years of people messing with GPGPU on consumer hardware we might not have got the AI revolution on GPUs.
