Moore's law has been dead for a while. We are lucky to have marginal improvements. Nvidia doesn't even need gaming gpus- they're now a small part of their total revenue.
As to monopoly, AMD and Intel haven't even tried to compete at the high end. It's like being angry for Ferrari having a monopoly on overpriced high end performance cars.
It's wild that his opinion is meant to carry any weight on this issue at all
Why
The NSA whistleblower never worked for NVIDIA or any key position in the industry
His opinion doesn't carry any more weight than anyone else
Agreed.
Who a person is doesn't matter at all to the truth of what they say.
Even if they aren't an Nvidia employee.
I don't need my dog to tell me, ~10% performance gains from one gen to the next, is shit.
Lol he's a computer expert. If everyone who has a valued opinion needed to ... Work for the company they are criticizing... There could be no such thing as a critic
It doesn't take an expert to arrive at the same conclusion
So... Exactly? Just is noteworthy if a smart SME also notices
Would it be as noteworthy if Bill Waterson from QA at Veeva Systems said it?
Doubt anybody's quoting Bill
Generally if I've never heard of the person, I would answer no to this question. I've heard of Edward Snowden before.
He’s neither a GFX or AI/ML expert so his opinion carries less weight.
I would take the opinion of someone capable of escaping the US government's data tracking abilities on any hardware any day of the week.
