I don’t think you’ll like the orgs that buy nVidia IP. I’ll give you a hint: it will be jared and the saudis.
But yes. nVidia is in a really good position to pivot. But that pivot IS important. And it is important that there are companies to actually buy those cards while they shift towards “our flagship is data center and HPC cards” rather than “our flagship is machine learning cards”. Since the nVidia model is very much to manufacture as many flagships as they can and sell the factory seconds and fourths to the rest of the market.
However, the point is that if they go bust, the technology is not lost. Someone will buy it and will seek to profit from it in the same way that NVIDIA currently does, by selling buck loads and pushing forward with development.
