NVIDIA shows signs ... [2008 - 2017]

[CarstenS]

Hopefully, Mr. Hedge will be given the chance to really push forward General Computing on GPUs and APUs alike. It's an area where IMHO AMD has to do a bit of catch-up.

 

[Alexko]

Steam's hardware survey has been updated with the numbers for May: NVIDIA managed to grab a whopping 3.17% of the DW11 market. Considering that Steam is, as a gamin platform, heavily biased toward the high-end, that's much less than I expected.

There's something fucked up about those numbers. Just look at the list of gainers of the month.

 

[Rys]

It's probably the Mac contribution. Especially looking at the GMA gains, which is basically the list saying hi to Macbooks and Minis.

 

[BRiT]

They also seem to be tracking individual GPUs more closely, looking at those which didn't have any sort of entry the previous month.

Good call on the Mac effect.

Jen-Hsun Huang on honesty

If they can call a spade a spade, how come they can't call a G92 a G92?

Jen-Hsun Huang on honesty

Is it just me, or does he sound incredibly full of himself?

Is it just me, or does he sound incredibly full of himself?

And that surprises you because...

 

[Alexko]

Well I don't know, I'd never read any interviews of that kind before...

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Heh, Jen-Hsun is like a mini cult of personality all to himself.

Then again, you don't take a company that fell flat on it's face with it's first product, had a mediocre but fast second product, and then turn it into the dominant graphics chip maker it is today without having supreme confidence in everything you do and a belief that the world was made to revolve around yourself.

Did he ask whether or not Fermi would arrive on time? He does say he likes to ask a lot of questions.

 

[Alexko]

He also talks an awful lot about failure... It's hard not to make the connection with recent developments at NVIDIA.

 

[3dcgi]

Failure is crucial to the Silicon Valley startup culture. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, etc. Nvidia obviously tries to harness that attitude as it fosters risk taking and with big risks come big rewards (or failures but any good leader will focus on the rewards).

I'm sure he's asked a lot harder questions than any of the bloggers or reviewers have when it comes to Fermi. And probably wasn't polite about it either

David Kanter answers questions on FSB, DMI & QPI

Useful summary.

 

[digitalwanderer]

Good interview, I liked Dave's analysis/summary.

 

[flynn]

Very interesting. The longer it takes for the verdict to come out the better for Intel. Once they go a 'Fusion'-like route Nvidia's offer will be rendered useless regardless of whether they are allowed to make QPI-based chipsets or not.

I'd imagine that if things start to go nv's way in court they'll press for damages to make up for lost business opportunities. But IANAL, so not sure how well that would work out.
