       | What is surprising is the Data Centre figure is by far the
       | largest component of their revenue, more than twice that of
       | "gaming" and close to double what it was in Q4 FY21.
       | 
       | That's phenomenal growth for a product category that was a very
       | short time ago almost exclusively desktop-only. I guess ML
       | workloads are huge and here to stay.

         | 
         | I think so but it deserves a bit of a caveat: a lot of ML
         | workloads right now are distinctively unprofitable, and like
         | all of the unprofitable-venture-funded businesses of the past
         | decade, many of which have been culled in the recent downturn,
         | there will have to be a reckoning at some point.
         | 
         | There are definitely lots of workloads that produce positive
         | ROI for companies, but many more that are heavily subsidized
         | (ex. products like Alexa and Google Assistant) and consume a
         | vast amount of ML resources.
         | 
         | A lot of ML-centric products suffer from a significant
         | departure from the traditional Silicon Valley notion of each
         | additional user being zero marginal cost, and products having
         | negligible operating costs vs. high fixed costs.

         | A 8xH100 server sells for like 300k+$ (the A100s go for half,
         | still very expensive), I'd imagine the margins are pretty high
         | on that. The demand for ML models (therefore servers) will
         | likely grow now that startups seem to switch from crypto hype
         | to ai hype and big tech derives huge value from ml workloads.

         | Not sure how much crypto mining going away affects it though,
         | demand is still there, you just can't buy their cards right
         | now. I've been trying to buy a few rtx 4090s since launch day
         | and it's nowhere to be found.
         | 
         | On the off chance you get to put it in your cart, it either
         | disappears by the time you check out or the order gets voided
         | afterwards. It rarely stays in stock longer than a few mins.

           | Try different countries - there will be delivery cost, but it
           | will not be so comparable to the price.

               | There seems to be some confusion regarding the acronym
               | AIB, and many are using AIB to refer to 'non reference'
               | graphics card designs.
               | 
               | AIB is an acronym for Add In Board as used within the
               | video card industry. The 'graphics' part is implied by
               | the industry context.
               | 
               | All Graphics cards are AIB.

               | 
               | An AIB supplier or an AIB partner is a company that buys
               | the AMD (or Nvidia) Graphics Processor Unit to put on a
               | board and then bring a complete and usable Graphics Card
               | or AIB to market.
               | 
               | See AMD's article on Partners (including AIB, OE, System
               | Builder) here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-
               | articles/Pages/AMDPartnersAI...
               | 
               | The term AIB has absolutely nothing to do with what ports
               | are available, the design of the pcb, or the cooler
               | design.
               | 
               | AIB literally just means "it's a graphics card".
