GPU’s are a family business it would seem.

Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.

    Even more damning: Jensen Huang used to work at AMD as an engineer, before he became a finance bro.

    Are you sure? Wig, lipstick, mascara, same person. Have they ever been seen in the same room together?

    I mean… they are the same company dividing the market, for everyone thinking “oh amd saved us from the 4c 8t” or stuff like that: you are just dumb if you actually think that wasn’t organized.

    Dividi et Imperia.

        They’re not though?
        AMD has a lot of agreements with Nvidia and a long standing partnership with Intel, most famously the sharing of x86. There’s no indication of them being the same company though. Not legally or secretively. Even if they have cartel agreements…

    Not problematic at all /s. Gotta wonder who’s the patriarch of the family and what did they do? Betting on weapons (likely with US backing).

      You don’t have to wonder, we have the internet lol

      His parents weren’t rich, he was an immigrant child who worked at Denny’s to afford college.

      Nvidia was a gaming hardware company. His billionaire arc is from being at the right place at the right time for the AI boom.

      His cousin was a little more well-off but also wasn’t coming from a crime family. She went to MIT.

        OK, thanks for delving into the shit that is the current internet, unlikely to be a source of actual truth these days unfortunately, but thanks. I find the coincidence of related CEOs in both major GPU manufacturers highly problematic and want a mechanism behind it. I assume something familial because of experience. Feel free to prove me wrong, provide references.

          If you claim big things and disregard information people provide to you that goes against it, you are not opened to be proven wrong.

          Also, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

          “Soldiers dont shoot people, their guns do” energy.

          The gpu sits somewhere in the middle. Command gives an order, Soldiers press the Buttons, the hardware calculated the target,the computer script fires when the target is locked in.

          And their now looking to eliminate the soldiers to fully automize the process and get rid of pesky individual morals.

          Soon enough war will be ai fighting ai and humans just collateral.

    Because rich folks get their kids high level jobs. If they are remotely competent (not even talented), they’ll get jobs like CEO in a heart beat. Who you know and who you are related to still is the biggest indicator of success.

      Oh my god can you people do a tiny bit of research before making yourselves look like morons with these comments??

      Go look up their parents and tell us more about how nepotism got them where they are. I’ll wait.

      But these two people are talented, not some upwards failing nepo babies. They both come from middle class immigrant families. Huang is a co-founder of NVidia not some guy who got the CEO job because he knows a guy. And Su has a Phd from MIT and had a long career in the industry before she got the CEO job at AMD when the company was at the brink of collapse.

      Just so we’re clear here, while I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about rich people, Lisa Su isn’t some nepo baby that got the CEO job because of rich parents , she worked her arse off and actually took the job when AMD was failing hard. She turned the company around quite significantly.

      She’s not without flaw, AMD is clearly behind on GPU tech but when Lisa took over, people laughed at the idea of AMD CPU’s in the data centre. Now compare AMD’s fortunes to Intel’s.

    Right but she’s not the creator of AMD though. And the only way she’s getting laid is if she’s paying for it. But I know there’s some dirty dick dudes that wouldn’t think twice 😵
