    Something that dethrones nvidia and traditional technologies can’t get here soon enough.

    These guys are snubbing their former markets for enterprise fad investments so hard, they need some humbling.

      NVIDIA is the most valuable company in the world and if it was a country, its annual revenue would put it at around 60th highest GDP (above countries like Luxembourg, Croatia and Ecuador).

      If there was any kind of new technology that threatened NVIDIA’s market leadership, they would just buy the company. Antitrust hasn’t been properly enforced for tech companies for about two decades, and I don’t see why they would start now.

        Then why doesn’t nvidia own ARM?

        All the money in the world…They wanted to buy arm… they offered 40 billion and it was accepted. You say regulators do nothing- why didn’t it go through?

          You’re comparing this:

          Now, researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Tsinghua University in China have demonstrated an all-optical chip they call LightGen that is more than 100 times faster and more energy efficient than a leading Nvidia GPU on tasks like video and image generation.
