It’s not a dig against Nvidia, imo. All companies do this if they can. AMD siphoned off chips for enterprise from both cpu and gpu, because the premiums you can charge are so much higher.
GTX 750 Ti was an absolute champ even for playing games at 1440p, and I would argue the GTX 1060/1050 were worth spiritual successors.
20 years ago you’re looking at an MX440, over AGP if you were lucky.
In think they had many market segments covered, even with their Shield products.
It’s clear that where they are going, tech enthusiasts/consumers won’t sustain them, though. They will have to overextend themselves in Corpo bullshit, and either behind just another nightmare conglomerate, or die trying.
Ford just shut down the new lightning factory to make batteries for datacenters instead. It’s just a great way to make sure prices keep going up. Create a scarcity and sell at extra markup.
CEOs are obliged to act in the best interests of the company (as opposed to shareholders, which I stated previously). 99.99% of the time, that means increase market share, revenue and margins while cutting costs as close to the bone as possible.

$3200 for a 5090 or $22,000 for an H200
The choice is clear but Nvidia was created by the low-end and enthusiast GPU market…
True, but honor and loyalty are worthless to a corp.
Nvidia has almost never given a shit about the low end market. They haven’t made a good low end GPU in like 20 years.

Corpos gonna corpo.
They are legally obliged to.
Good news! Legality doesn’t mean much in the US anymore!
Bad news! They’re taking it so far the other way it’s even worse!
Maybe that’s just something they say, maybe not, if not laws need to change, if so they need reining in.
