Posted by Peter Rosa on Wed Nov 20 11:24:33 2024

It's like Nvidia is the most important company in the whole wide world forever and ever. I can't understand why.

Change what you spend your time reading and it won't be "everyone" any more.

Because at some point GPU's became magnitudes better at processing things than CPU's are. And there was a smaller field of competition doing graphics for just games originally.

Then there's the new thing called NPU's.

What bubble are you living in? I see nothing about Nvidia in any sphere of media or public interaction.

This will partly get you to speed.



It's a pretty b f-in deal to quote an old politician.

Like back when youtube was new, they claim there's not enough power on the grid for the number of brains being built.

They not only have the best GPUs, they also developed a way to program those GPUs, which is why crypto mining and AI developers love Nvidia and not AMD.

The second most important company is TSMC, the company which makes Nvidia chips.
