Is this 'Edge' thing at all compatible with IE, though? My impression was that it's a clean slate; and that IE is going to be phased out completely.
I heard that this new edge has a feature to emulate IE, dont know if is already available but would help a lot.

Maybe people with tiny houses want something like this

Quoting: omer666This sucks big time, because it's going to create a new HPC hardware monopoly. Also given Nvidia's company "culture" about openness, this hardware monopoly can potentially become even worse.

Money is the only argument that prevents me from building an all-new full AMD rig and scrap both Nvidia and Intel parts for good right now.
They still have to face competition from AMD and Intel so it's not exactly a monopoly. And other companies are still going to be able to license ARM IPs.
There is competition indeed, but do they stand a chance? It is like suggesting Microsoft didn't have a monopoly in the 90's because there was Apple. HPC is already their biggest source of income right now, and with the ARM buyout, I can't think of anyone who can stop them as we speak.
How are they more likely to dominate this market that already is dominated by Intel? ARM doesnt have significant portions of the HPC market.

Nvidia does have a good share of the AI market but other comapnies are growing up a lot and some like tesla are making their own technology

Quoting: WJMazepasThey are buying ARM to be more competitive in the AI space so i think that mobile space will not see that much of a difference in the long run
Mmm yes but that also has a flip side are they going to continue Mobile development or is all R & D going into AI, in which case are we not going to see any improvements on current gen ARM cpu/GPU SOC chips. Obviously am only thinking about gaming of course there could be massive benefits in the broader market for AI improvements. Still not keen on driverless cars but that is a discussion for a different forum.
AI is Nvidia focus, but i find very hard that they arent going to continue in the mobile market.
Seriously, ARM is everywhere in these days, is being used my Microsoft, Apple, every smartphone out there.
Even the latest Tegra went with a ARM IP. There is no reason Nvidia would want that to stop just because they are nvidia.

And ARM can still with their usual business but with the AI arm having a stronger focus on the use cases of Nvidia.

They'd really prefer to price gouge you at all points in time, not just at release.

All that needs to be done is:

a) passing laws that force companies to put all of their money fairly into worker's wages, products, and expansion, and stop allowing investors and CEOs to horde money. Oh, and make it so investors aren't allowed to enslave companies once they've already "made it" and no longer need help.

Or b) other economic systems such as government-funded research, which is already common in many countries (and often gets monopolized by private corporations).
How in the hell did you went from "Old GPU prices dont go down" to government-funded GPUs research?

Seriously, this is a Nvidia thing, they stop producing old cards and only make their newer available, but AMD still sells RX580s at a really cheap price these days
