How much further can they really take a video card?
AMD still makes GPUs right?
They sure do. That's part of why I don't think nvidia would give up the consumer market.
AMD/Radeon (ATI) has also been in many of the console systems for a long while as well. They have their market. I don't think nVidia will give up the ground to them if they don't feel like they have to. It still brings in a ton of $$$.
Enterprise computing gear is built better, handles heat and power savings, is reliable, and these usually come at a slight performance cost. My experience anyways.
It sounds like a way off the performance sensitive gaming market while getting to charge a fat premium for the more basic thermal and structural engineering.
AI people will not bitch on their blogs about some rendering shortcut that impairs visual quality. If it runs a little cooler and does the job they will be happy.
