nvidia goes apple way

it was kind of obvious as technology advances, but now even memory prices make it too expansive to release a pc with seaparate ram for cpu and gpu.

For context I assume you mean the RTX Spark announcement?

This fall, Nvidia will officially become a consumer PC chipmaker like Intel, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm, putting a complete computing chip — not just graphics — into the very heart of laptops and mini-PCs. After many months of leaks, it’s finally announcing the RTX Spark, the first in a family of chips that will meet or beat the most powerful thin-and-light Windows machines ever, it claims.

i read about desktop but mini-pc is not really a desktop so i guess we have nothing to worry about for now provided we like to pay twice for ram and Watts... and free noice included...

That's probably because Nvidia is phasing out the Personal part of Computing. We can still have the minis, for now, so the transition goes down smoother. I'm half-joking.

I would not buy a new pc until they completely redesign It It is 1980’s Obsolete technology.
The CPU gets to hot, GPUs are too big, Storage is old tech and limited.
It’s just become a mess….Frankenstein

Nvidia just said they are creating NEW computer powered by A.I.
Sounds like Alexa technology

nVidia reinvents MediaGX!

Garbage tier PCs for the late 2020s, yay.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I think they just want us all to use cloud computing. Anyone who has ever tried to use the online version of the office package knows this is not a very bright future.

It's just more cattle feed that you can simply not buy.

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.
