nothing ever gets cheaper.

this is Capitalism.

Televisions are both cheaper and better now than they were decades ago. While the technology of a product is constantly evolving, it can have a totally different inflationary curve than a product that has technologically matured ages ago. Take eggs, for example: same product + no innovation = $$$ 😉

sbaudelaire.bsky.social•26 days ago

slaves build those tvs.

xlkonos.bsky.social•26 days ago

TVs are not better they're an actual nightmare to use nowadays

superlauren.world•27 days ago

absolutely not, this is silicon valley we are talking about

ryanrusson.com•27 days ago

Probably not, but DeepSeek certainly demonstrated that we can do a lot more with a lot less hardware.

Asking the important questions

God I hope so

the-hampter.bsky.social•27 days ago

There legitimately may not be a Nvidia soon lmao

daveluty.bsky.social•27 days ago

Only if you promise not to ask it to render anything in Tiananmen Square...

metalsmithing.art•26 days ago

Oh absolutely. The price of the 5090 will be lowered from $5,000 to $8,000.

They're using nvidia chips from what we can tell so far. Just doing it a lot more efficiently.

camhcom.bsky.social•27 days ago

why would prices ever go down? that implies some sort of "supply" and "demand" relationship, which is just not how economics works.

I HOPE

No, ai research is going to pivot to the more efficient code and juice it with their huge mega farms.

byronic.bsky.social•27 days ago

Sometimes things don't work out the way we want but in this case I think 600b worth of nvidia losing money and turning the brand toxic might make them the confederate dollars of the GPU spaceways

brhi.bsky.social•27 days ago

Thats why their stock tanked today

eggbag.bsky.social•27 days ago

No but they will consume significantly more power instead

trep.bsky.social•27 days ago

they will get more expensive because they lost half a trillion on the stock market

pino27.bsky.social•27 days ago

I wish there was more focus on making fun solid games instead of making incomplete demos for showing off the graphics.

zymurgeist.bsky.social•27 days ago

The race isn't over. AI is in it's infancy. A lot of issues remain.
I don't believe Nvidia cards will ever get cheaper. They're not my favorite people.

Valid

ironjoebro.bsky.social•27 days ago

That’s what was said when NFTs died. They’ll just make up something else.

How will this affect my ability to game??

axleblaze.bsky.social•27 days ago

Time for Voodoo to come out of hiding and sneak in for the surprise win!

chocho.bsky.social•27 days ago

Fake frames

hstringpuller.bsky.social•27 days ago

Everything will continue to get worse indefinitely.

karlrolson.com•27 days ago

NVidia is still trying to force the bubble rather than pivot their TSMC fab capacity to consumer cards, but we'll see how long they hold out with that. If companies start cancelling orders, they're gonna have to refocus their energy, if only so AMD & Intel don't leverage the opening this presents.
