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.

    As an AMD GPU person I’ve been chuckling at the Nvidia drama from my high horse, but I guess I’m not safe either lmao

      Team Red is not the Nvidia protest option we thought it was, especially since AMD is now a data center-first company too. I bought a 7900 XTX a few months ago because it was the only 24GB card still under $1k, but now the price has doubled.

        Data centre first company is what burned any goodwill I had for AMD. What a complete misstep.

        Edit - we kept them alive for the last 15 years, and this is the thanks we get.

        I mean it’s the same thing as the RAM industry colluding fo make prices exorbitantly high. Of course they’re all going to maximize profits at all costs, they get sued into losing their roles at the company if they don’t loot everyone for all their money at all times

          Ah, nice! The only ones I saw otherwise were going for closer to $2k.

    First cousin once removed. Supposedly they first met as adults in an industry meeting when their careers had already launched. It does seem like a crazy coincidence though.

      She’s the one that called the FBI after he brought his new girlfriend to dinner last year.

    “Family Business” except never forget that AMD bought their way in by purchasing ATI, the once beloved Canadian video chip and card manufacturer. I miss the All-in-Wonder ❤️

      Hahaha wait I was curious, here’s what fucking TSMC’s chairman / CEO looks like:

      From the front, he really looks just like a chubby Jensen to me 🤣 Not as much from the side by any means but purely from the front? Sheesh.

      I would imagine this is how Taiwanese people see our tech bros…. but they’re uniquely fucking horrendous looking dorks so probably not honestly

        Well, fuck…

        This is the CEO of MediaTek, the second biggest semiconductor company in Taiwan (waaaay after TSMC). I mean, this is just him again 20 years older and with his hair dyed black poorly.

        They’re shaking hands here…

        …but it’s just future him shaking his own hand causing a time paradox, which is incidentally why our timeline sucks so much ass.

        Edit: also, if this is supposed to be a secret, why does he KEEP WEARING THE SAME FUCKING GLASSES?! How dumb does he think we are, I mean, really? And who does he think he is, superman?

        Edit #2: I also think he had a cancer diagnosis between TSMC and MediaTek. Hair is much thinner, he lost a lot of weight, but still has a bit of a puffy face from the prednisone. Poor guy, even after all he’s done to us I hope he’s doing OK…
