GPU’s are a family business it would seem.
Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.
Are you sure? Wig, lipstick, mascara, same person. Have they ever been seen in the same room together?
White Rose?
So they… aren’t?.. having an affair?
I mean… they are the same company dividing the market, for everyone thinking “oh amd saved us from the 4c 8t” or stuff like that: you are just dumb if you actually think that wasn’t organized.
Dividi et Imperia.
it’s all one big club, and we ain’t in it
Oooooooh wow that’s the relation.
I won’t lie this story is straight out of like 17th century Europe lol
Not problematic at all /s. Gotta wonder who’s the patriarch of the family and what did they do? Betting on weapons (likely with US backing).
Considering gpus are just digital arms at this point. Arms dealing probably runs in the family!
Arms are used to kill people. How do you kill someone with graphing hardware?
You calculate where the bombs go
Hitting someone in the head with a 5090 can do serious damage.
Ask a college student.
What the fuck
You best start believing in feudal oligopolies, cuz yer in one.
Big what the fuck. For real.
If y’all think this is crazy, wait til you find out the entire US economy has been ruled by a few handfuls of families lol. Makes this shit seem like nothing in comparison.
A Ford was married to Firestone (Tires)
A Vanderbilt was married to Crane (toilets)
Old family money: Vanderbilt (oil) Carnegie (Steel) Goldman-Sachs (wealth) lol
A Walton is married to J.B. Hunt. List goes on and on. The oligarchs having been doing this since the royalty days. Just now they dont worry about incest. But yes corporations are getting in smaller and smaller hands.
They must be laughing at politics and common folks thinking it makes a rat’s ass of a difference…
And then there’s Kennedys and of course, the Bush-Walker-Davis family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush–Davis–Walker_family_political_line
Future generations will marvel at how we went from that to shit like Trump and Kushner
Edit: also gotta mention JP Morgan Chase bank being an insane merger
It’s called inbreeding ask spanish royalty.
¿Ehhhh como se dice…. “inbreeding”? Donde esta la bibliotheca
Ensanchado 😉🇪🇸
Su’s default response to anyone being nice now.
why do you think amd sounded like one of the tech bros, or agreed with nvidia on building AI DATACENTERS.
As an AMD GPU person I’ve been chuckling at the Nvidia drama from my high horse, but I guess I’m not safe either lmao
Anyone who has any loyalty to any company I’d not safe. The only safe option is to treat companies as your rival. They will charge you as much as you let them, your job is to reciprocate that rivalry by voting against them (and for yourself) and abandoning them for their rivals as soon as they turn on you.
People liked AMD for the same reason people like Pixel phones. Not because the company is wonderful, but the hardware allowing more modification and support for open source activities. And very little options when it comes to the hardware criteria they are looking for compared to those that stick to corporate operating systems.
As a 3DFX person I have been asking, what is a pixel shader?
I understood that reference.
please explain for the rest of us
You think she has a Chinese boy toy on the go?
Jensen’s ladytoy was also a Huang.
So it might even be a third cousin
They are not related.
Wouldn’t you?
Not a Chinese one I don’t think…
Team Red is not the Nvidia protest option we thought it was, especially since AMD is now a data center-first company too. I bought a 7900 XTX a few months ago because it was the only 24GB card still under $1k, but now the price has doubled.
For most was it ever about protest? If on Windows where most people are NVIDIA has been the better option for a long time, but if using Linux NVIDIA turns into a headache to get working properly compared to AMD.
So this is more like a Pixel phone situation where if someone wants custom roms like lineageOS or GrapheneOS to get away from corporate spyware its one of the top choices. Ironic because Google sucks, but other OEM phones and rom communities for it have died out. And same applies to AMD due to NVIDIA linux support being subpar and becomes a nightmare once support drops completely.
Data centre first company is what burned any goodwill I had for AMD. What a complete misstep.
Edit - we kept them alive for the last 15 years, and this is the thanks we get.
Are you guys just now learning that corporations have a legal obligation to their shareholders and nobody else? It’s literally built into their DNA like an animal’s drive to reproduce.
Anyone running AMD who made a different choice would be violating their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.
That’s how C corps are designed.
That isn’t what fiduciary duty means. It means they can’t purposefully run the company into the ground. But any choice that can be justified, for example as “I don’t believe this AI thing is going to be all that and we should remain focused on our consumer markets for long term growth” immediately nixes any complaint about fiduciary duty. I mean unless the board can produce evidence that that’s a lie.
If the board disagrees with the CEO about the direction of the company they can replace the CEO, but again, the board and CEO can do anything reasonable.
They don’t have a legal obligation to their shareholders. This is a a huge lie that is told to scapegoat the CEOs that enable consulting firms to carve up competitors for even bigger money. They have an obligation only to the board members.
This is an IMPORTANT distinction that is what fuedalized corporate America to such an extreme.
I mean it’s the same thing as the RAM industry colluding fo make prices exorbitantly high. Of course they’re all going to maximize profits at all costs, they get sued into losing their roles at the company if they don’t loot everyone for all their money at all times
I think mine was maybe a little over $1k, back pre-RAMageddon.

It looks like one can get them at about that price still.
Ah, nice! The only ones I saw otherwise were going for closer to $2k.
Trust me Lisa Su us also having a big LOL and champagne on this news.
he’s clearly just Mrs Doubtfire-ing
Well helllooooooooo!
First cousin once removed. Supposedly they first met as adults in an industry meeting when their careers had already launched. It does seem like a crazy coincidence though.
It’s insane how many people are brainwashed into believing that historic wealth distribution doesn’t have an overwhelming impact on present wealth and success.
My parents achieved middle class from poverty but never learned how to manage money because their parents were uneducated farmers, orphans, etc. I grew up around both rich and poor kids. Most of the kids who went into “high skilled” “professional” roles had parents in those disciplines, and the wealthiest have the wealthiest grandparents. Even the “pros” that didn’t have that were far from poor. The poorer kids I knew are blue collar at best, but many fell to addiction, suicide, or fell off the face of the earth.
For every decamillionaire who came from the middle class, there are dozens whose families were already millionaires in the 20th Century.
Yes, but it’s still a massive coincidence that cousins who never met, a decade a part in age, raised by different families in different parts of the US are both CEOs of the two largest GPU manufacturers in the world.
imagine the thanksgiving banter
She’s the one that called the FBI after he brought his new girlfriend to dinner last year.
Source?
It was a joke.
Hmmm… Not recognisable as one.
“Yeah my GPU’s might not be “the best” but I don’t need a fling on the side just to feel anything. BTW, how are your CPU’s going, still cuddling up to Mediatek? Pathetic. Processors for babies.”
“Oh no, I sold my CPUs to a small Japanese company called Nintendo. 183 million handheld consoles may not be quite your league but I’m happy.”
Because rich folks get their kids high level jobs. If they are remotely competent (not even talented), they’ll get jobs like CEO in a heart beat. Who you know and who you are related to still is the biggest indicator of success.
Just so we’re clear here, while I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about rich people, Lisa Su isn’t some nepo baby that got the CEO job because of rich parents , she worked her arse off and actually took the job when AMD was failing hard. She turned the company around quite significantly.
She’s not without flaw, AMD is clearly behind on GPU tech but when Lisa took over, people laughed at the idea of AMD CPU’s in the data centre. Now compare AMD’s fortunes to Intel’s.
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
“Family Business” except never forget that AMD bought their way in by purchasing ATI, the once beloved Canadian video chip and card manufacturer. I miss the All-in-Wonder ❤️
