One jacket to rule them all.
With Nvidia getting ARM Intel is in a bit of a pickle. AMD is squeezing them in consumer market and now Nvidia will just overthrow them in server world. Full solution from Nvidia with racks powerd by Ampere, ARM and Mellanox. Run buy Nvidia software. It will be more compact, with insane horsepower and use less power than Intel servers.

Monopolising the ARM market, I don't agree with it one bit.

They can't.
But what they can do is precisely what Avet mentioned. Full blown in-house solution with tons of compute horsepower.
Yeah, even if they could there'd be little incentive for them to divert from ARMs current licensing model and break its customer neutrality; It would instantly shatter most of ARMs revenue income and tank the value and influence of something they've just spent billions on.
They've thrown in a lot of sweeteners that should help the deal pass regulators and convince customers to stick around long term (Which may become critical soon with the rise of RISC-V), but given how many regions and countries have fingers in this pie (Obviously, transfer of ARM to US owners will be a touchy one to navigate with Chinese regulatory bodies atm) it's still probably going to be a year or two until they can get the go ahead from all bodies.

This is all assuming the US/EU/UK/China pass this and allow it.
Which is unlikely with China not wanting them to go to US control.

Well that's a pretty penny.

Now that I think about it. Nvidia spent more in one day than AMD has made in revenue in like 8-10 years

Contrary to popular belief AMD is not even in the same league as Intel and Nvidia.Now that I think about it. Nvidia spent more in one day than AMD has made in revenue in like 8-10 years

I've not heard anyone say that. :huh:
Really, I haven't. I have no memory of anyone, whether Facebook newbs or forum dwellers, assuming AMD has anywhere near the value of Nvidia.

Intel:
- 90% of the server market
- 99% of the laptop market
- 80% of the desktop market
- they make everything storage, network, software solutions and they are leaders in all of them
- Intel has more software engineers than AMD has total employees.
Nvidia:
- 100% AI market
- 100% professional market (Quadro, CUDA, OptiX)
- 70% consumer GPU market
- they also make almost everything and their SDKs literally run the world
- new Ampere HGX and DGX monsters will push out even Intel from the server world
AMD
- makes few good CPUs
- they have consoles
- we hope they will have a GPU that can beat 2 year old 2080 Ti
- they can't even make drivers work
Don't get me wrong those few CPUs are really rocking hard atm but other than that AMD doesn't even qualify as competition.

Well I don't agree with that at all they are killing the CPU side of things atm.
The consoles is huge money Nvidia and Intel would have loved to have a contract like that.
2080ti is base level and they have tsmc far better than Samsung node, but yea they have a ways to make up ground, but i sure hope they do even if they don't beat nvidia i am more willing to go amd myself.
I think the drivers is an early issue on launch i see as many posts of people saying in the past as i do saying they don't have any issues.
They are in the market they are competition regardless of the % pretty sure Intel and Nvidia would like nothing more than amd to sink, then they would fight it out alone stagnate the market and eventually merge and just take the whole pie.

Relations between china and most of the countries in the 5 eyes alliance are pretty icy right now. I don't think it would make much of a difference UK or USA from an intelligence standpoint

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that I haven't heard anyone say that AMD is anywhere near as big as Intel or Nvidia. You said "Contrary to popular belief"... when it's not popular belief at all.
