Plus, didn't they get into trouble the last time about misleading shareholders about their exposure? Might only have been a lawsuit though. Guess unless the regulators censor them, nothing happens. And even then, Musk seems to only ever get lightly slapped, so no wonder Nvidia's key people think they can say whatever the feel like!
In addition, the GPU market has seen elevated demand due to the application of GPU products to cryptocurrency mining. For example, our GPU revenue has been driven in part due to an increased interest in cryptocurrency mining. The cryptocurrency market is unstable and demand could change quickly. For example, China and South Korea have recently instituted restrictions on cryptocurrency trading. If we are unable to manage the risks related to a decrease in the demand for cryptocurrency mining, our GPU business could be materially adversely affected.
It is difficult for us to estimate with any reasonable degree of precision the past or current impact of cryptocurrency mining, or forecast the future impact of cryptocurrency mining, on demand for our products. Volatility in the cryptocurrency market, including new compute technologies, price changes in cryptocurrencies, government cryptocurrency policies and regulations, new cryptocurrency standards, and changes in the method of verifying blockchain transactions, have impacted and can in the future impact cryptocurrency mining and demand for our products and can further impact our ability to estimate demand for our products.
won't stop investors asking about it on the earnings callsApparently it's ok for both AMD and Nvidia to leave out exactly how many GPUs they sold to miners or how much it affected their business as long as they leave a disclaimer in their 10-Q reporting.
Unbelievable he can get away with blatant lies, anyone with even a passing interesting in computing knows that Nvidia benefited massively from the Crypto boom. Companies that do this should be fined as % of their revenue creeping up steadily with each new infraction, if the the regulators had the backbone to enforce such as rule then companies like Nvidia wouldn't be so brazen to try and mislead investors.Interesting that Nvidia make no mention about a possible drop in sales for gaming gpus because of changes in the crypto mining market instead they state, "The shortfall relative to the May revenue outlook of $8.10 billion was primarily attributable to lower sell-in of Gaming products reflecting a reduction in channel partner sales likely due to macroeconomic headwinds."
Rumours of excess stock are now confirmed, "Second quarter results are expected to include approximately $1.32 billion of charges, primarily for inventory and related reserves, based on revised expectations of future demand." It will be interesting to see how much of this excess stock gets to retail at reduced price. However, I do think that a 2060 at £212 is good historic value if you look at the fact that the pound is weaker and yet the 760 launched at around that price with only 2Gb of ram and the 1060 was above that price often.

the business is supposed to be seasonal so we should be really looking at y/y growth, so other than client (also known as oem) things are looking fine
by fine i meant there would still be layoffs, but not something that would impact solvency, but there would be layoffs
