My reading of chip wars and similar chip fabrication places is this stuff takes decades to develop and is insanely expensive. Is that not the case here?
They won’t start from scratch.
You can license ARM cores, scale up the design a bit and get to first pre-production units within a year or two.
OpenAI needs extremely large amounts of computing power and is almost 100% dependent on Nvidia to get it. That’s not a good situation to be in. Even if they can’t compete with Nvidia directly, building their own chips might be cheaper than paying Nvidia’s profit margin.
No that’s correct
It’s just the next step in the AI hype cycle. The AI hype could have died considerably by the time these places are even spinning up to create chips.
Yes, it’s pure unfiltered bullshit. A time honoured way to get investment tbh
My only hope is that this shits all over nvidia’s stock price and makes them humble. Please end this bullshit where a mid-range consumer card is $500+.
You guys only need $500 for mid-range gpu?
Base 4070 is going above 600 here.
7700 goes for $450 in the US
Can someone just pull a Garfield and put Sam Altman in a box to be sent to Abu Dhabi like he’s Nermal?
They couldn’t even replace him as CEO for 5 minutes before $$$ made everyone fold like a wet noodle
Knowning openai they will make the platform as locked down as they can
