We can deduce that Nvidia sold ~100 million desktop GPUs alone last year. Nvidia don't actually sell full cards they sell GPU dies to board partners who then manufacture a card which includes a PCP board, RAM, Power supply, ports and connectors etc then they box up the card and sell to retailers. For the $1000 Titan for example the part that Nvidia sells for US $115.79 / piece so given Intrinsic's lowball $1b estemate (GPU sales accounted for $3.2b of Nvidia's sales last year and most of that is consumer GPUs) that would be 8.6 million Titans. According to the Steam hardware survey the GTX 770 is their most popular high end card at the moment one of those is just $65 and keep in mind these prices are via a reseller so Nvida probably charge less. |
Wow.... for someone that seems to be obviously so smart, why do you insist on just ignoring the facts that you have right in front of you. I will only talk based on what you have presented here.
If nvidia made an earning report and announced that it had 4Q total revenue of $1.14B. You know what, lets even make that $2B per quater though that is not what Nvidia said (they said $1.14B). Now for 4Qs thats $8B right?
So lets use your $115/piece number here and the fact that as you have so kindly pointed out they sold 100M GPUs last year alone. Which so happens to cover the period their earnings report shows. Lets do some math now shall we? 100M x $115.
THAT IS $11.5 BILLION
Can you kindly tell us then, why Nvidia chose to lie about its anual earnings?
Now mind you, this $11.5B was made from selling ONLY discrete desktop GPUs. No tegra, no nvidia shield, no mobile GPUs. Nothing else. You clearly have no idea what you are tal;king about. All I have done is use the date you have provided and compared it to what Nvidia announced themselves.
So please tell us, why will nvidia announce the 2013-2014 finacial 4Q to be their best quater in a while at $1.14B in total revenue, when they somehow make an annual $11B in desktop GPU sales alone?????????? Are you delusional or something? or just plain confused.
