not his goal,at least for now, he mentioned he's leaving to start a software company around generative ai.
There's certainly some merit to that kind of split, but I don't see how it would work financially. At the end of the day, their design side is currently paying for all the manufacturing side's expansion. I think this would only be feasible years down the road when IFS is established.
That doesn't seem to be what they're saying. Instead, it seems to be more about holding both the design teams and fabs to a customer vs seller accountability model. So if the design team has a bug and needs to do another stepping, they have to pay for it. Likewise, if the fab misses targets, they have to eat the cost.
So he's hoping to get a bunch of venture capital to burn through on what will no doubt be a disappointing product that at best has the hopes of being acquired by an even bigger and more clueless company?
He should have just thrown in something about using the blockchain as part of this generative AI to create a metaverse, and he'd have given everyone a blackout on their BS bingo card.
JHH was one of the people who founded NVidia. If he comes across as an arrogant prick it's because he's earned it. No one who's founded a company would hire someone they think would only harm their company. Only a deranged parent would knowingly hurt their baby.

Remember how people say engineers should be selected for CEOs?
Well, unlike AMD/Intel Jensen has been CEO from the very beginning of Nvidia and he's an engineer at heart.

And it shows, because Nvidia has never really lost their way when it comes to their actual technology, unlike Apple, AMD and Intel.
Someone who founded a company or has essentially been there since the start is going to have a completely different perspective than someone with no real connection that's been managing or leading half a dozen other companies for decades before taking on the CEO role at company X.
I don't think you need to be an engineer to be a good CEO, but you do need to understand the company's core products and if it's a company where engineers create those products the CEO will need to know when to defer to their experience and expertise.
For a company like Intel the CEO is also going to need to be someone the various lead engineers and upper-middle management respect and fear. Otherwise they get too busy trying to one-up each other to try to move up the corporate ladder.
A lot of Intel's woes likely come down to internal politicking and petty squabbles where the company ends up sabotaging itself. Microsoft was notorious for doing this while Ballmer was in charge because everyone thought he was an idiot and the various division heads were all trying to make themselves look like the next choice for CEO.
Intel Next-Gen Arc Battlemage GPU rumored to feature 64 Xe-Cores - VideoCardz.com
Intel to increase Xe-Cores on Battlemage GPU series up to 64 According to RedGamingTech, Intel’s next-gen GPU could see a doubled core count. As a reminder, RedGamingTech had already leaked a roadmap featuring Intel Arc GPU plans for the near future. The presentation clearly stated that the...

It's engineer, fab guy, or finance. Those are the big choices. If you look at Intel, Fab guy = Barrett, Kraznich, Finance = Otellini, Swan
It seems Fab experience isn't necessarily good for the company because there's a difference between relentless execution and future vision. They excel at the former but fail at the former(of course Kraznich failed miserably at both).
It's certainly not finance, because Otellini's mistakes are costing the company today. So from a practical perspective it has to be engineer. When it comes to respect Pat Gelsinger has loads of that. There always exist groupthink, and he's one of them.
One article said there has to be a balance between vision and management and his experience at VMWare means he has both of that, and the needed software perspective, which he didn't have it back at Intel.
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind big part of the drivers actually improving(and rapidly) has to do with that, indirectly by Gelsinger bringing in Lavender and reorganizing the group.
Except for doing their own custom CPUs, modems (most Tegra in general really), bumpgate, FX series...
Nvidia has screwed up their tech plenty. They rarely do so catastrophically, but there are instances of that. In fact Nvidia might have sunk as much money as Intel in trying to get traction in the mobile space (only to fail for similar but also distinct reasons), only Nvidia somehow failed while leveraging ARM CPUs because (primarily it was due to Nvidia's business practices) they kept screwing up their own custom designs, then couldn't get their modem sorted, then screwed up custom CPUs again (think they did that what 3 times?) then tried forcing adoption through litigation only that backfired on them as well before they then tried to just buy ARM itself and that failed as well, so its not like you have to look that far to see Nvidia's failures.

Of course as a consumer, I mostly only cared about bumpgate which cause me and people I know a lot grieve.
I guess the difference between what the actual damaged caused by all those millions of parts with defective solder and what Nvidia eventually paid out (but only the US, the rest of the world good nothing) was the money they could then squander on Tegra, modems!
They are "optimizing" it further: https://www.club386.com/cyberpunk-2...verdrive-mode-featuring-path-tracing-visuals/
Oh my! How the 4090 owners will gloat now.
That reads like an Nvidia press release. It probably is.
I guess they want a new meme: "but can it run Cyberpunk 2077?"
Difference being, Crysis wasn't just designed to be a vendor sponsored GPU showcase.
Without fake frames even 4090 would be lucky to hit movie frame rates.
Anyway, aside from the fancy lighting and reflections everywhere for $100s million game am I the only one who thinks the graphics look quite low polygon after all the hype?
A bit late to the party, but it's not very surprising that Koduri left/was fired after being demoted. I think that Intel can make ARC work, with enough work with regards to the drivers etc, but it's hard to deny that it has been very late, probably missed many internal goals as well as performance goals, and that all of the regular classic Koduri behavior from AMD was displayed at Intel. You would expect that the software and drivers issues especially would have been taken more seriously and with better execution when someone with Koduri's experience is one of the leads of the project.

I think Koduri being a problem is just a consequence of the real problem that has been plaguing Intel for the past two decades, culture and management problem.
If they were actually on the ball, then they would have been better long time ago.
Ah well. Based on what @Exist50 is saying Koduri's role has been minimal since December of last year. General manager is former driver head Lisa Pearce now.

You are right. I was thinking why does this game look like some old game from 2010s with fancy effects? Maybe they were going for a depressing looking city. If so, yeah, that looks highly depressing.
There is a slight thing with sci-fi games: lots of surfaces can be super smooth with no bumps, cracks or bumpmaps. So quite low-polygon. Though similar looking at Mass Effect scenes.
But against that, something like Fallout 4 does have plenty of bashed, rusted and run down surfaces.
I think that in CB2077 having so many surfaces looking perfect distracts from any kind of dystopian feel.
Maybe, maybe not. Currently ARC underperfoms given it's die size (and with that manufacturing cost). But even iGPU from intel have had this problem for years. I suspect it's not just driver but also the entire uArch needs to be changed. In general it would make sense for the to create affordable mid range gpus in large volume. No need to be the fastest or most efficient but they need to be profitable which means better performance/mm2 is required.
Such a high volume part can fill up the factories better than just CPUs.

Latest ARC content from PCWorld. This time vs 3050 and 6650XT for price parity.

Hopefully next iteration goes better for Intel. We so need more decent gpus

I'm surprised Celestial is still on TSMC, doesn't bode well for Intel's process nodes.Battlemage and Celestial are apparently in the books.

Both a long way off apparently:Battlemage and Celestial are apparently in the books.

So that sounds like over a year until Battlemage and around 3 until Celestial.
Plenty of time to sort out legacy drivers then!

2H2024? That really doesn't bode well.
It's not like their competitors will be sitting on their laurels. I'd expect RTX 5000 series and RX 8000 series would be launched by then...
