I think the key is that in those days you didn't launch a product until you were absolutely sure it was going to work well, it was prototyped and debugged before it was launched. At least that is the impression one get with classical t

People simply take the marketing bait when a simple spreadsheet of 20X0, 30X0, 40X0, 50X0 GPU specifications (cores/shader units, tensor, rt) plus memory bandwidth reveals that they are just reselling the same computing capacity as the
