This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.
Someone's gotta create demand for stealing Palestinian homes. /s
Of course, there’s a lot of free land up there!
Nvidia is actively seeking land to build tech campus in Isreal's... sweats bullets ... north... sigh of relief
Man I really hope Radeon and Arc don't fold.
The Arc 850 is apparently a banger of a midrange card. The mid range, I imagine, is the sweet spot for volume and profitability
It's considered budget now. At $250 MSRP it's equal to the cheapest release by Nvidia
Sure, but I imagine that the volume thing still applies. I'm guessing here.
Well, the MSRP is fake because they don't make nearly as many of them to keep the price at $250. This is because it's a loss leader, Intel just wants people to buy them and establish a foothold in the industry.
Of course, MSRPs are now fake by every manufacturer because reviewers review against it and gave AMD bad reviews when they released cards at real MSRP
MSRP $700, card sells at $700
Bad value!
MSRP $550, card sells at $750
Amazing value! Too bad they are selling out so quick you can't get it at MSRP!
If only ark went with dxvk rather than their half backed pilots that crash
I wasn’t really looking for a reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever
I wasn’t really looking for ~~a~~ another reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever
Ew
Nvidia is a genocide enabling company. They should be punished for this anti-humanitarian activity.
Yeah that's not going to happen. Gamers don't give a shit. AI bros don't give a shit. Crypto cucks don't give a shit. And most importantly.... the US doesn't give a shit.
Harsh but true.
a touch generalizing maybe?
Maybe... But it is true. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to punish them for this.
what constitutes punishment? not buying their products has to be worth something, right?
It does, yes. But I don't think anyone will stop buying their products. Look at who they sell to:
Maybe a handful of gamers will decide not to. But in large enough quantities and for long enough to make a difference? Nah. Not going to happen.
Yes. I personally haven't bought Intel since they've shown themselves, or MS. And now I won't buy NVidia (I have a good cheap GPU from them, though ; and they make FreeBSD drivers ; it's unfortunate).
I do use a PDA with Android with Google services.
Linux users do though. If people keep moving from Windows to Linux they're going to run up against the trash Nvidia driver support pretty quick.
This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven't been interested in it for over a decade so I don't see them starting now.
Expecting a major flood of new Linux users might be a bit of a pipe dream though. But the momentum is building. If we do manage to swing the market noticeably in that way, AMD is going to get a big boost over Nvidia in the gaming GPU market.
I doubt that will really move the needle for crypto bros or AI farms, but it is something.
Most tech companies are evil let’s be honest guys
Which ones aren't?
The most evil companies tend to send the most reliable and substantial paychecks, unfortunately.
Oh cool so the next gen of nvidia cards will spy on us for Israel? In the name of stopping terrorist?
Fuck Nvidia.
Cue to Linus.jpeg
Cunts
I’m buying an AMD gpu already, you don’t have to convince me.
Amd is already in Israel.
Nvidia is already in Israel too. This would be a new campus.
Way overpriced and under performing consumer cards, shitty bloated drivers and now this? Matrox or Diamond come back plz.
What's drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?
Probably promised slave labor by the camp residents.
Silicon Valley person here. There is a relatively developed tech sector there, with a growing startup scene in Tel-Aviv. So not a horrible place to have an office (from purely talent reasons, setting ethics aside). But not necessarily fantastic either. There are bigger and more developed tech scenes in other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Austria in particular have a lot of high tech semiconductor manufacturing companies which would be logical for a company like NVIDIA. As well as the added benefit of not currently waging a war against civilians.
The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.
Israeli investors in NVIDIA push the company to invest in Israel. Israel is one giant nepotism club.
Some deal with the israeli government if I had to guess.
That's what we call an IBM move.
That's evil
next gpu will also be amd
Some of Amd GPU work is in Israel.
i guess graphics will live in my imagination
Still a lot less than NVIDIA. Else we are going to have to wait for the Chinese stuff. Rumors are they have a 4060 tier GPU now.
