NVIDIA - Enabler of the Impossible

A skilled meatbag who knows how to look in the right place vs. an AI bot is still a tight race. Thanks for the manual check. Here, an unskilled and somewhat lazy amateur preferred to put the bot to work instead of going to find the definitely correct report and the definitely correct part from it. Grok seemed to have managed the challenging task given to it this time. :partying_face:

But couldn’t this cash flow fluctuation be due to the exact same thing? TSMC, at least, has its hand strongly outstretched, wanting money in advance - at the stage when capacity is reserved - even years in advance - and then a bunch more when a batch of wafers goes into production. So NVIDIA genuinely commits money to goods in the pipeline and it cannot pay for these afterwards, unlike its customers.

Both NVIDIA and AMD reacted to this immediately. On the other hand, the H200 is already a bit outdated; companies on the cutting edge already want B200 / GB200 devices.
