The design and symmetry of that PCB is oddly satisfying.

Also, does that mean that once the AI bubble pops, Nvidia come come to the consumer market with a powerful ARM gaming SoC?

I mostly see dollar signs. It's a very dense board and every square inch has a ton of high speed I/O. I imagine there are thousands of buried vias. Economies of scale help and the things being installed also cost a lot, but I'm still curious how much of their BOM cost is board fab.

These things have started to look a lot like big iron CPUs from the late 90s with unusually thicc PCBs, being crammed full of (then cache) memory chips around a huge chip or two in the center, periphery lined with odd high-speed connectors and power delivery etc

Maybe N1/N1X is coming out soon: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-n1x-20-core-cpu-performan...
