Intrinsic said: 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. |
Ok first off I would like to admit I made a mistake in my last post Nvidia's GPU sales is ~65m not 100m I had a lot of tabs open and I must have grabbed an incorrect number well making my calculations. I should have double checked my math sorry.
The $115 is for their most expensive GPU obviously that makes up a tiny fraction of their total shipments I mean it retails for $1000+ FFS. As I pointed out their higher selling GPUs are around $65. I am not sure why you keep guessing their annual revenue either they do report that you know
Ok so we know that GPU sales for last year was $3.4b from shipment data we can extrapolate ~65 million units for Nvidia which works out to an average of ~$53 per GPU sold on average. Given they get around $65 for a GTX 770 aparently (probably less if you can buy them from a 3rd party for that price) that is not to bad at all.
