    I hope they sell shares to invest in OpenAI and as a result go bankrupt within the decade. I’m honestly amazed that this company is doing well after the disastrous new power supply cable specification launch which has melted cables and put an upper limit on plugging and unplugging it, and in general just lack of interest in upgrading past the 30 series. Also, the loss of longtime collaborating manufacturers over how nVidia treats their partners.

    Ah, but I guess 78% of their profits are from Data Center hardwares, and product quality rarely factors into how investors value stock prices.

      The CEO, Jensen Huang, is many things and few of them good, but he is one of the keenest minds for tech investment. He called the AI boom a decade before it was relevant and mostly ignored mining as a fad to focus on the hardware for complex compute. NVidia makes so much more than desktop gaming graphics.

      Given the incredible valuation of nVidia, most shareholders will ignore the issue with wire supply. Most consumers will forget it after a hardware generation. It’s galling for us but irrelevant for the folks running shit.
