[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 239 points 5 months ago (3 children) Do I want another option in the desktop CPU space? YES Do I want that option to be Nvidia? NOPE permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] semperverus@lemmy.world 43 points 5 months ago (1 child) I'm looking forward to the MilkV chipsets that are RISC V architecture. They have like a microATX board that just takes regular computer components and has functioning graphics drivers for AMD. Nothing is optimized for it but its a 64 core CPU if I recall correctly, and its ridiculously low wattage for what it does. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sxan@piefed.zip 3 points 5 months ago Ditto. RISCV will catch up, eventually, and it'll be a Chinese company which does it. Most of þe RISCV solutions are Chinese silicon. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 point 5 months ago I'm likely never buying one, but more competition is good. It'll bring prices down because some people won't care. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ageedizzle@piefed.ca -2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago (1 child) they are recently destroying the desktop PC market by selling at overinflated prices, and by being the manufacturer that ends up using all the memory components that's been removed from the manufacturers of the PC market. but for a very long time before that, they were making very shitty, buggy, unstable drivers for linux. we might just get to be taught that CPUs also need drivers, so far that just wasn't a problem because they was just working fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CybranM@feddit.nu -2 points 5 months ago Nvidia is just the person selling pickaxes, blame the AI companies for paying insane amounts for memory permalink fedilink source parent [–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 months ago They are extremely hostile to open source. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Trilogy3452@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago Probably them investing mostly in AI hardware nowadays (not sure what %) is the reason permalink fedilink source parent
