Even if DRAM prices make Groq's approach more economical, Nvidia can develop a competitive product before Groq could take any real market share.
Exactly. The only way this makes sense to me is if the board needed this product in <1 cycle. Which makes no sense for a market player like NV who already have the PDK, volume, and literally everything else in the universe. But here it is, so there is clearly a factor I have not considered :)
