NVIDIA ditches gaming graphics cards because they’re not “profitable”

ChatGPT artificial intelligence has been talked about a lot since it was opened to everyone. Many are exploring the limits of this technology. Microsoft, for its part, wants to add this technology to its Edge browser, with not very positive results, in some cases.

NVIDIA saw a deal with ChatGPT

We can think that forgetting gaming graphics cards does not make sense with the demand that exists. The reality is that the time it takes to sell a graphics card, since leaving the store, is usually between 3 and 6 months, at least. This means that the company takes “a long time” to recognize revenue from this component.

But, NVIDIA has found a brutal customer who you sell your graphics cards to before they leave the factory. We are talking about the OpenAI company, developers of the ChetGPT artificial intelligence. This tool requires huge computing power and that’s where NVIDIA comes in.

As has been indicated, Nvidia Ha sold nothing less than 30,000 NVIDIA A100 graphics cards. At least 20,000 will be used directly for data processing for training.

The ace NVIDIA A100 costs around $15,000, but if purchased in large quantities (as is the case), it can be reduced to $10,000. We discussed that before they left the factory, they already entered about 300 million dollars for these graphics cards. An amount, which comes from the gaming sector, can cost a month or more.

Due to this request, the The company prioritizes artificial intelligence in the gaming segment. Recall that the representative color of NVIDIA is green, which is the color of silver.

Additionally, Intel and AMD are actively engaged in the battle for AI solutions. A huge market that will expand and that requires extremely powerful hardware.

Have you doubted that the gaming industry doesn’t care about NVIDIA?

This isn’t the first time NVIDIA has shown that the gaming segment doesn’t care. We have seen twice how the company sold its graphics cards to mine Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.

If we remember, between 2015 and 2017, there was already a great shortage of gaming graphics cards due to mining. The same thing happened between 2020 and 2021, when the last Bitcoin halving took place. The price has risen and the demand for Ethereum mining cards has skyrocketed. Also, this has been coupled with COVID-19, so since 2020 we’ve been experiencing brutal component shortages.

Now the new excuse for the shortage of gaming graphics cards is ChatGPT or any other artificial intelligence. If a customer asks you for products for this new technology, keep in mind that he will sell him anything he wants. It doesn’t matter to Jensen Huang that you want to play Hogwarts Legacy, all that matters is to increase your income.
