NVIDIA received record profits
NVIDIA has published a report for the fourth quarter of last year, from which it can be seen that the company on the background of a hype caused by a shortage of video cards earned five billion dollars. Despite the pandemic, that NVIDIA could not ship as much as planned that other large IT companies demonstrate the results that could hardly be proud of, in NVIDIA everything in chocolate.
Moreover, it is already planning to get another five billion in the first quarter 2021. And if you think that these huge money NVIDIA earns, selling video cards Majneram, then no, it turned out that the share of miners is small, somewhere from 100 to 300 million, Sale of playing video cards brought a company much more - 2 and a half billion. Oh, or is it the same?).
And this is the main article of the NVIDIA income, second place behind professional video cards, the third - for the equipment for the data centers, then the automotive industry goes, where NVIDIA earns on equipment for unmanned cars, and the last place is OEM.
RTX 3060 will try to counteract MajneraNVIDIA itself suggested his own way to combat miners who buy gamecappartes. The new model RTX 3060, which appeared the other day on sale, has software protection that reduces performance when using algorithms for mining cryptocurrency Etherium. At the same time, NVIDIA plans to re-make individual accelerators for miners, which are called CMP.

Thus, in the ideal world of NVIDIA, game models are bought at the recommended cost of gamers, and miners calmly use specialized accelerators. All satisfied, gamers can play, miners earn money, Nvidia earns money. But in the terrible real world everything was a little different. I would say that the opposite was formed.
NVIDIA plans to release special cards for minerFirst, because the new RTX 3060 is not sold in stores at the recommended price of $ 329, if you find something, the price will be significantly higher. This applies to almost all NVIDIA video cards, which plans to solve problems with a deficit by restoring the production of obsolete cards of type 1050 Ti. Secondly, Mainers put on all these restrictions from NVIDIA a big such raitrecinge.
Etherium is not the only cryptocurrency, but NVIDIA protection works only with algorithms for it. Blogger Cryptoleo has demonstrated that with the help of mining CFX or Cortex you can earn the same 6-7 dollars per day. The difference between the RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti cards, in which there is no antimage protection, is noticeable only when using Etherium mining cards.
By the way, Cryptoleo acquired a 800 dollars card even before the official sale began. This speaks a lot about the recommended prices, the logistics of NVIDIA and care of the gamers. By the way, I do not quite understand how with a lack of semiconductors, when for the entire processor industry, video adapters, smartphones and many more trite lacks chips, NVIDIA is going to still produce individual miners devices?
Or does the company really believed that miners will not buy game models when the CMP's own card appears for them? Write in the comments how you would solve this problem. But let's realistically, without utopian scenarios like "Transfer all miners", well?
