Zaranthos Nvidia profits have undoubtedly lit a fire under AMD like never before. The pie has grown so massive everyone wants a bite out of that pie. The competition usually makes both better. AMD has done very well and has probably been slowly gaining on Nvidia recently and with their upcoming products. If they can continue to improve on the developer, software, and interconnect areas they should provide some solid competition. Reply

watzupken MS: Let's deploy at scale! Power company: Sorry mate, you are maxing out the grid. MS: Let's just deploy them in our data centers first then.

But their actions speaks otherwise and the physical limitations are conveniently ignored. They might not get deployed but the GPUs are getting bought. They then pay Nvidia/AMD to store them until they can deploy. They’re doing that because they don’t want to spend the money on the construction unless they know for a 100% fact they have already the compute to deploy into it. Reply
