      Wasn’t that type of transaction. Jensen got the pussy and 7.5B.

      I’m sure he must be seeing this as an absolute win, until the spy news broke out.

        No wonder he said he was “happy to pay” the $8 billion wealth tax California recently passed. China was covering it for him.

            And TVs, and internet, and pretty much everything that uses modern technologies.

            Your TV needs DRAM because unlike CRT TVs receiving analogue signal that gets fed into the cathode tube, you now have digital signals (not to mention streaming and smart TV parts), which needs to be decoded into memory then sent to a display controller (which also takes DRAM).

            Every single networking equipment needs DRAM for temporary storage that isn’t a simple bridge controller (i.e. a basic network switch). Including your router.

    Apparently Nvidia’s export controls had two settings: restricted for everyone else and »call Jensen« for the VIP list. If these allegations hold up, the real breakthrough wasn’t the H100 architecture. It was discovering that 240,000 supposedly banned chips could pass through a relationship faster than customs.
