jayz2cents just posted this, it felt a bit overdramatic to me at first, but then when he showed the picture of like 20 7900 XTX's stacked behind this new AI farm... got me thinking... and as he mentions in the video, profit margins on a AI silicon from TSMC are like 60 grand versus the paltry 500 bucks for a gamer gpu, same silicon, same time required at TSMC... why in the world would Nvidia make any gamer gpu's at all when they can allocate all TSMC time to AI and massive profit gains... if you watch the whole video, Jayz has a point here. I actually wasn't convinced until the end of the video though. AI farms are going to be the new thing for small business owners...
glad I built my rig when I did anyway, good prices and can semi-retire for a good five years as i watch all this play out. I still think jayz is overlooking that fact that a massive influx of gaming gpu's has hit all markets recently, and most people only play at 1080p still, i think the markets will still be fine honestly, but I recommend you watch the video and make up your own mind.
