Kinda fitting to think we might see Nvidia cards with literal diamonds in them.
Except man made diamonds cost pennies to make compared to natural diamond
I’m sure Nvidia would disagree. Everything is expensive to them.

Finally a good use for diamonds.

Yes, I do.
so just sayin theyre not all sparklers on marilyn monroe’s finger as she strokes her mink shawl
Diamonds are the most over rated gems in existence. The notion of their rarity was fabricated to inflate their price; it is one of the most common gems, to the point there are places in our solar system where it rains diamonds. And even on Earth, the existing reserves are very carefully controlled to ensure prices do not drop because if it were to be commercially escavated at full capacity, it would flood and dunk the market, permanently.
So finding other uses for pure carbon gems is a plus, although the ones going into this use will certainly be synthetic ones.
Finding a highly abundant material that cools better would be a smarter solution.
Natural diamonds aren’t even rar, it’s just one big business family owning pretty much every mine on earth. Even jewelry diamonds could be very cheap without artificial price manipulation.
However they’ll use artificially produced industry diamonds for CPUs. Since they’ll be very tiny and purity probably doesn’t matter too much, this is likely a relatively cheap process too. I doubt they’ll want to lose on revenue.
Natural diamonds are (carbon.)rar.
