Wrong way round.
BECAUSE you declared you are an AI first company, your gaming revenue crashed 40%
Some previously unknown Chinese manufacturere will see this opportunity and rush to deliver something. The first generation will be weak, but subsequent iterations will improve drastically, to the point where the market share will never come back to a US company.
They already are. The writing is one the wall as AMD and Nvidia prepare to forget about games.
China has a home grown gfx in the low end Intel has a mid range card. China will iterate fast as we know. We just need Intel to stay the course and continue and not drop out but it seems likely they will drop out, which is a shame as the Arc B580 I have is amazing
The government will ban it before that ever happens
I wonder why gaming revenue crashed?
Once gfx got hw ray tracing there isn’t anything else besides more memory or faster clock. Most peoples gfx cards are good enough for everything except 4k Ultra so people stop needing to upgrade….gaming sales decline.
Motherfucker.
Hang on to your hardware, PC folks. It’s gonna be a long ride back to reality.
My five year old PC just died and I already can’t replace some of the components new.
I bit the bullet this summer and built brand new. I’ve checked the same parts several times since and all but the CPU have gone up.
This rig better last me a long time!
9800X3D and 9070XT for reference. Only 32 GB RAM. 800€ was painful enough….
Just in time for the AI bubble to pop. Enjoy.
Weird how quickly they forget how close they were to actual bankruptcy before Zen. Guess you’re going back down the hole again?
they won’t. silicon valley doesn’t do that.
Fuck AMD. The same corrupted shit as NVIDIA and Intel.
Yeah but if you want a graphics card who else can you buy from?
Dave. he gets stuff that falls off of trucks.
Keep an eye on China and all the “newcomers” to the graphics side of things. Moore threads and Lisuan tech come to mind.
It’s actually very vibrant once you start looking outside the “big three” of graphics.
They grow for free in data centers
Those cards are headless. No DP/HDMI.
Same as “mining” cards back in the day. With a few clever software tricks, you can absolutely make them output image through the motherboard HDMI
Ah that would be sweet, I’d love me a 288 GB card for gaming. I’m not sure they’d perform well though?
At least I could use the card to vibe code its own graphics drivers lmao
Haha, now you get into the right mindset!
DIY is the name of the game.
Godamnit. I had been hoping that as Nvidia reels from the inevitable AI collapse, AMD would be poised to become the leader in the gaming space.
never bet on a silicon valley ghoul to be smart sane or humane.
AMD and Nvidia are currently run by the same family. They are first cousins.
Lisa’s been attending Trump dinners since last year IIRC. She was never going to be a savior to gamers when AI revenue is way juicier.
Sure, go party with Trump. Hint: Americans who are worried about being able to afford food and fuel aren’t buying Ryzens and Radeons.
Fuck you Lisa. All my goodwill towards AMD is now gone.
My stubbornness is immaculate. There are more old games out there that I can play for several lifetimes before caving to high prices or renting a gaming cloud service monthly. I can get used hardware in many ways.
Counter Strike: Source forgives you for leaving and will accept you back at anytime
Gee I wonder why people stopped being able to upgrade their hardware. So weird…
interesting bet, considering how bad AI did on the ballots just now
If you mean stock market when you say ballots then yes!
Stock markets still have a long way to go to realise this. The current dip is tiny compared to the actual reality of things.
Didn’t ai lose a couple of trillions just yesterday?
Market cap. It’s irrelevant unless you’re cashing out your stocks or index funds in the near future in which case oof.
no, moth meant ballots. there were a bunch of AI ballot measures in a bunch of different states that got shot down. all total across the nation, dozens of local and state ballot measures ended with results that somehow restricted data center development. it was an utter massacre for the AI industry and their plans to build new data centers.
moth supposes that the AI stocks taking a nosedive might have had something to do, in part, with that. although it certainly wasn’t the only thing, since a lot of the new congresspeople aren’t too fond of AI either.
Can’t buy PC parts any fucking where anymore
It’s a family affair.
