    NVIDIA’s deal makes much more sense. Will use OpenAI revenue to buy shares in OpenAI and still profit if OpenAI goes bankrupt.

    This is less a “vote of confidence” in AMD, because shit is free for OpenAI here. I too will buy all the AMD GPUs if you give me AMD stock of same or greater value. This deal structure actually makes AMD look terrible and unconfident in its product. But deal is not transparent enough.

        That’s what I meant, though specs look great, and so “unconfident in execution of future roadmap” or cost/yield issues, but tsmc has history of success in new tech generations. OTOH, Rubin is sticking with 3nm as AMD goes for 2nm on the critical part.

        Something is very wrong with this deal. Can know this without knowing any specifics of what’s wrong.

          Ah I see now. I meant to imply AMD knows the bubble is going to burst soon and they’re trying to cash in as much as possible now.

          I don’t think AMD is on the verge of a technology crisis, but I’d have said the same about Intel way back when so maybe you’re on to something.
