Let's have the US government give another billion to chipmakers to pinky promise they won't sell to China.

Wonder if he will be able to afford a 5090 GPU by selling that jacket or would need to pony up some extra.

BaardFigur , 2 months ago

Why did they put his last name first? That's like saying Carrey Jim

ConstantPain , 2 months ago

That's how names work in some asian countries. Family name takes precedence.

But Jensen is a scandinavian surname.

radicalautonomy , 2 months ago

It's Jen-Hsun, but he goes by the name "Jensen".

BaardFigur , 2 months ago

I see. Then it makes more sense. Just a bit weird reading Jensen as a first as a norwegian

GreatRam , 2 months ago

Jensen is his first name

BaardFigur , 2 months ago

Then it makes more sense. Jensen is one of the most common surnames in Norway. It means son of Jens.

I can already see them upselling a new generation of consumers GPUs. Costing twice as much but made for AI and gaming. You heard it here first. 5000 series will have a $5000 GPU.

I guess NVIDIA doesn't really care about its gaming division, and it is not like Intel or AMD are giving them any hard time either, mostly AMD is playing ball while Intel is struggling to catch up with them.

The worst thing about this is that it's an embossed leather jacket, not even real lizard. $10,000 for a fake lizard pattern on a typical calfskin jacket. Tom Ford is a real rip off brand.

(I'll note that I doubt lizard hides are actually large enough for a leather jacket, though.)

Looks trash

Nvidia can kick rocks.

I guess he cut his avocado toast.

He has someone to do that for him.

Got it.

Ya I saw it, just reiterating 😂

bionicjoey , 2 months ago

I appreciate TH not parroting Huang's nonsense in their headlines. He's clearly just trying to get attention by saying outlandish things

AI.

AI AI AI.

Fuck you and your stupid leather jackets, Jensen. Nvidia is permanently on my no-buy list after your market-abusing behavior.

Tja , 2 months ago

Where's the jpeg of the guy drying his tears with dollar bills elwhen you need it?

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

The market abuse is just the latest bullshit from Nvidia. Wait till you learn about their proprietary software they pay games to use so that they look better compared to AMD when in reality they're overpriced bullshit.

Cmon gamers, you love hairworks, physX, and gsync. Stock up on Cuda cores today!

NekkoDroid , 2 months ago

I genuinly hate NV as a company and their propriatary software, but I can say that the software they provide is decent/good. Like... good cards and software, terrible company and philosophy/moral

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

Well, yes. I can't describe to you how pathetic it would be if after two decades of having the majority market share of GPUs and a near complete monopoly on GPUs in general if they didn't at the very least have decent software. I put up with AMD's buggy software because aside from trade secrets they make most of their software open source and they've only recently reemerged from the shadows. With things like Freesync and Vulkan I'll bleed red until they fuck it up.

I've heard the lizard pattern is EXTREMELY complicated. Definitely a good value at that pricepoint.

swab148 , 2 months ago

He's not eating. He's spending all his per diem on jackets.

XeroxCool , 2 months ago

I think he's full of shit. One day, he's at a post-lunch meeting, cranky as shit, because he spent all his lunch money on clothes. A few days later he rails us for scheduling a meeting during lunch, mad as hell, because he's hungry. Dude nearly dies choking on a sleeve hotdog. I'm kinda thinking he's actually just against meetings in general with this lunch inconsistency

FTA:

Tom Ford's Tejus lizard-embossed leather jacket from the Tom Ford SS2023 menswear collection, based on the collar, zippers, and cuffs (see detailed pictures below). It's not lizard or crocodile skin as some people might have suspected — most exotic skins are banned in California — but is, in fact, just embossed calf leather. Still, it doesn't come cheap: it retails for a cool $8,990 (or just over ten shares of Nvidia stock).
