No one needs an AI PC.
Putting a Blackwell into it doesn't make it less pointless.
I like the Cybertruck analogy. Maybe NVDA could make a Blackwell Flamethrower?
It certainly runs hot enough.
Intel dimwits think this is a PC.
No, this is a compute appliance for researchers and professionals needing local AI compute nodes. This thing runs Linux and so it’s not for grandma.
Intel dimwits look at everything through a PC lens, as if that’s where anything of value is. Wake up. PCs are a dead market. You need to look outside of PC.
I think NVDA is just trying to create their version of a Cybertruck.
Cybertruck is such a pointless grandstanding prank that TSLA is actually selling some of them. But keep in mind that TSLA also sells flamethrowers.
2 questions come to mind:
Does anyone actually have a use for a Blackwell PC?
Can they afford the electric bills?
I think we may have just seen AI jump the shark, wearing a shiny leather jacket (just like the Fonz)
Now we have seen AI jump the shark, wearing a shiny leather jacket.
There is no innovation at Intel.
Just more PC processors for running windows.
Name one thing that lunar lake enables vs. a chip from 5 years ago. One tangible application?
Crickets.
The price sounds high (starting around $3000) but high end PCs cost this much in the mid 80s when they first started being sold. Put that into today's dollars and this is actually cheap in comparison considering the early PCs probably didn't have 1% of the capabilities.
There isn't a product line in Intel"s portfolio that isn't being easily taken away by the competition. Intel has nothing in the pipeline that can do anything about it.
