Imagine a $3-trillion company was divided into three trillion-dollar daughter companies that had to compete against each other. Parent-company shareholders would start with equal share values in each daughter company. Who would suffer? Who would win?

Unless LLMs go away and are replaced with something with better design.
They were lucky to be at the forefront during the past 15+ years. First it was gaming, then mining, then gaming, now AI.
AMD is trying, and their stuff is pretty awesome, compared to where they were in the past, but it's very difficult for them to topple the giant, unless, of course, the giant topples itself.

Based on my time at AMD I am always surprised when I hear the company continues to exist. Why is it still around?
(But I worked in a LTHV (Low-Tech High Volume) chips department. Mostly tracing yield problems...)

AMD now makes the fastest PC processors and they are still cheaper than Intel, That's why.
Whither Slashdot wander? (Score:2)
Been a LONG time since I've felt any need for a faster CPU. I have been mostly power/battery- and network-connectivity-constrained for many years now... I would point to the moribund poll about NVIDIA as evidence of concurrence with my position, but mostly I see the dead poll as evidence of how moribund Slashdot has become these years...
Since returning to Slashdot I have mostly been discouraged to see how "the Slashdot situation" has continued to decline. Only moderately active story was the TikTok thing. I

This is what happens when cryptocucks take things over. Without exception, they always enshittify.

I think NVidia should be valued, but not as much as they are now. They are very good at using AI for example for optimizing rendering, but they are not AI researchers that make big discoveries. Google is the company that does the big discoveries, and that is mostly because of Deepmind. In 2030, people won't be talking much about LLM anymore.

Better design is assured, the question is how well NVidia can stay ahead of the curve vs. competitors. That said, CUDA is their moat for now.
A couple known potential disruptors:
* Ternary transformers: Often called "one bit" transformers, though actually a trit, multiple studies have now shown that they can perform nearly as well as floating point, so hardware implementations could be dramatically faster and more efficient. But this involves ternary hardware, which hasn't been seriously attempted s

We will TILL the land in semiconductors and we will plow electricity into it and we will cover the surface in chips. NVDA is clearly undervalued, we can't even pave the roads with how few H100s they sell.

I think today it's way overvalued because we're in this weird space in between technologies. I know people are convinced LLMs will save the universe, or at least enough people to keep NVIDIA ticking along for quite a bit here, but at some point we'll figure out a better way to tackle the AI "problem." Most likely with specialty chips not designed by NVIDIA, since they're convinced they just need to keep doing what they do, just slightly faster and with slightly better memory specs.
So, ultimately, it'll fall

My desktop at home has a 5-ish years old NVIDIA card that wasn't even then top of the line and still does the job (I do some Windows gaming and use Linux for freelance work - web, graphics, photography). My desktop at work has integrated Intel graphics and does the job (I work in IT, mostly office stuff). From my point of view, NVIDIA is way overpriced.
