> scaling down their consumer GPU production [0]

>> Due to Memory Shortages

I don't think Nvidia wants to give up on consumer. They're a gateway into the overall AI ecosystem.

Having feet planted there also make sure they can play the local game when that begins to blow up. Nvidia wants a robotics play, too.

This is a pragmatic choice. And most of the money is in commercial.

You mean, NV is after the money with a heavy heart and a sad tear or two over the abandoned consumers, like "We love you so much but sorry, we must go pragmatic on you"?

> And most of the money is in commercial.

This is a serious systemic failure and it's even wilder that it's accepted without question.

		That's not the right light to view this chess move. If Nvidia had infinite supply and infinite resources, they would absolutely continue doing consumer. There are constraints that prevent them from doing so at the typical volumes. Giving up on consumer also means giving up on a gateway to more CUDA ecosystem users.

		They're still selling GPS. They just want people to rent them instead of buy. Its definitely shitty, but it's not like they're quitting.
