Nvidia CEO Defends GPU Dominance, Says Competitors Can't Beat Total Cost Despite Criticisms
-
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed Nvidia GPUs are so good that even free competitor chips can't beat them on total cost of ownership for AI data centers.
-
Huang said Nvidia GPUs are highly programmable, support a wide range of workloads, and have become an industry standard.
-
He argued that data centers care more about operational costs than chip prices, and Nvidia delivers the best performance, utilization, and flexibility.
-
Huang stated that keeping this competitive advantage takes continued hard work and innovation from Nvidia.
-
The claims are controversial given accusations of Nvidia operating a GPU cartel and dominance of the CUDA programming model.
