It is easy to forget that hardware companies are involved in all types of businesses. While NVIDIA began with graphics chips for PCs, it has grown into a global supplier of technology for data centers. The following information should come as no big surprise then, in light of the many stories we’ve reported on since the launch of its Ampere-based A100 enterprise solutions.



Bloomberg has posted a report showing that green team has made an impressive achievement in its 27-year history. For the first time, its data center revenue has surpassed that of its gaming product lines. The data center segment narrowly edged out gaming with $1.8 B vs. $1.7 B.

Note that's revenue NOT profit. Seems to me that Nvidia is jumping into cloud services with both feet and riding the margin as best they can to ramp up users. We should see increasing profit if they can keep their customers satisfied and in good health as the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) starts to spread.

Once we see the expenditures start to slow for new hardware and space and increase in customer acquisition we will start to see some good profits. Until then revenue is great but it's not the whole story. Though they don't think customer aquisition pace will remain the same they do start to build in profit as the hardware they do have matures.

Of course if they start suffering attrition we might start seeing oodles of server memory dump on the market for cheap...

God, it would be so hilarious to see a terminator with the old "the way it's meant to be played" logo stamped on its forehead. Could really take it a step further with an Intel inside logo somewhere else and show someone hacking it off to the side(side-channel attack-lol).

China already has Skynet. Literally. (Minus the human killing robots, ofc.)

The Chinese Army is preparing to deploy small, new, tracked war-robots armed with machine guns, night vision, missile loaders and camera sensors to conduct attacks while leaving manned systems at safer stand-off distances.
