I don't know if it's sarcastic but the ARM acquisition was to ditch MALI and license GeForce GPUs instead and develop new CPUs cores for HPC and datacenter marketsThe ARM acquisition could also have been Nvidia's ticket to low power ARM GPU cores, allowing them to ditch their power hungry cores and use multiple power sipping modified Mali cores developed exclusively for themselves. They could still do that through licensing but it wouldn't be the same as having the brilliant ARM engineers in-house to do their bidding.
19k for Time spy extrm is Kimi sandbagging on cut down low frequency AD102. Full die (SM and all L2 cache activated) equivalent to AIB OC models will be above 25k at less than 600W (can't be more specific for obvious reasons)
Did Nvidia mention that? Getting MALI to emulate CUDA etc. would be easier than to get their Geforce cores to be power efficient, unless you want something like the GPU used in Nintendo Switch.ARM acquisition was to ditch MALI and license GeForce GPUs instead
Nothing was really disclosed until the deal was approved but yes, the goal was to replace Mali with GeForce.Did Nvidia mention that?

I would blame this more on Jensen. He gave them the deal figuring they would go with the more recent architecture and that would get him an extra $1 per SoC. The cost to Nvidia for the better SoC wouldn't have been substantially more. Jensen, as usual, did his part depriving gamers of something good.Nintendo refused a deal given by Jensen himself of a custom SoC with Pascal, instead of Maxwell, for only $1 more.
That's one way to think about it. But the die was bigger and more important Nvidia was taking care of all R&D cost for this custom SoC, including tape out. It was a good deal in my opinion but you are free to disagree.I would blame this more on Jensen.

There is a leaked benchmark now:
The "disappointment" is still very impressive. I bet it will be over $2000 though.
Not sure it will be $2K. If the rumors are true and NV only releases the 4090 this year, then there's no way it's $2K. They can't take the kind of hit that would cause on the bottom line.

Given how well the 3080/3090s sold for well over $2000 or even $3000 last year, I don't think they will have any trouble selling at that price.
Combined with Corona shortages.They only sold that high because of the mining boom...
Not really, the nadir of graphics card sales (in units) was Q2 2019, while COVID was not even a thing. It is true that Nvidia couldn't scale up production as hard as they did during the previous mining boom, but their production numbers were quite similar to 2014-2016. So without the immense demand from miners, the gap between demand and supply would be way, way smaller and thus the prices far lower.Combined with Corona shortages.
That's why they said that the reduction of the 3090 MSRP from 1500 to 1300 is only temporary.
Oh yeah? But guess who gets comprehensive basic healthcare!!!!^ I laugh in European Master Race fashion!
You peasant Americans, your American gpus run better in Europe!

Ooh, maybe nVidia will announce the 4090 soon.
The 4090 Ti has 142/144 SMs and 48 GB GDDR6X. Oh and draws 800 W.
4090 coming to my rig soon it appears. Nice.

There is a really simple solution to keeping the wattage low...just don't buy it.800W? Disgusting
