alt Hacker NewsNVIDIA is, and will be for at least the next year or two, supply constrained. They only have so much capacity at TSMC for all the chips, and the lion's share of that is going to be going enterprise chips, which sell for an order of magnitude more than the consumer chips.
It's hard to get too offended by them shirking the consumer marker right now when they're printing money with their enterprise business.

They could be more honest about it though.
I was under the impression that a ton of their sales growth last quarter was actually from consumers. DC sales growth was way lower than I expected.

BS! Nvidia isn't entitled. I'm not obligated. Customer always has final say.
The problem is a lot of customers can't or don't stand their ground. And the other side knows that.
Maybe you're a well trained "customer" by Nvidia just like Basil Fawlty was well trained by his wife ...
Stop excusing bs.
Not personally offended, but when a company makes a big stink around several gross exaggerations (performance, price, availability) it's not hard to understand why folks are kicking up their own stink.
Nvidia could have said "we're prioritizing enterprise" but instead they put on a big horse and pony show about their consumer GPUs.
I really like the Gamer's Nexus paper launch shirt. ;)
