On the bright side, there is actual number behind the nvidia stock hype, but n the down side, will the need for GPU stay so high for long enough for nvidia to pay the massive investment to keep up with production? Or will they end up with empty factories in 2 years?
My main issue is that, the life cycle of their entreprise grade GPU are way too short (and the gaming one are worse) . My job involve some obsolescence management and while the GPU obsolescence isn’t the most complicated one, while we finished system validation on a GPU generation it’s already time for purchasing to send a last buy order
Also curious of what the other segment really is
My problem isn’t much GPU dying, or getting not powerful enough, but that as we work in a “certified environment”, everyone sourcing can’t procure anymore a GPU model, we can’t just buy the next generation and assume it works, but have to run an extensive list of test, then update documentations including list of supported GPU per system version(especially for service) .
Basically, it’s the kind of stuff where you can loose a lot of time (and which isn’t always high on priority list) so feel like as soon as we finally approved the usage of a GPU version, we have our suplier telling us it’s not available anymore. I would love to have a GPU manufacturer offering 10-15 years of market availability (Like we get for FPGA) .
