President Trump is meeting with Jensen Huang today to discuss the future of GPU's.
Hopefully Trump brings up the need to lower prices for consumer graphics cards for gamers,
and increasing the stingy amount of Vram on GPU configurations.
*Its probably just an exemption from tariffs though.
Nvidia produces 0.00% of their own GPUs and 0.00% of their GPUs are produced in the US. Nvidia's GPU production is primarily outsourced to TSMC (Taiwan).
AMD also produces 0.00% of their GPUs AND CPUs and near as I can tell 0.00% of their CPUs and GPUs are produced in the US. AMD's CPU and GPU production is primarily outsourced to TSMC (Taiwan).
Apple produces 0.00% of their chips and 0.00% of their chips are produced in the US. Their chips are outsourced primarily to TSMC (Taiwan).
At this point in time, there's very nearly a global Monopoly on chip manufacturing, held by Taiwan. The only major competitor in town is Intel. And Intel has outsourced the bulk majority of their production capacity to China.
Fun, huh?
