GPU’s are a family business it would seem.
Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.
Oooooooh wow that’s the relation.
I won’t lie this story is straight out of like 17th century Europe lol
Not problematic at all /s. Gotta wonder who’s the patriarch of the family and what did they do? Betting on weapons (likely with US backing).
What the fuck
You best start believing in feudal oligopolies, cuz yer in one.
Big what the fuck. For real.
If y’all think this is crazy, wait til you find out the entire US economy has been ruled by a few handfuls of families lol. Makes this shit seem like nothing in comparison.
A Ford was married to Firestone (Tires)
A Vanderbilt was married to Crane (toilets)
Old family money: Vanderbilt (oil) Carnegie (Steel) Goldman-Sachs (wealth) lol
A Walton is married to J.B. Hunt. List goes on and on. The oligarchs having been doing this since the royalty days. Just now they dont worry about incest. But yes corporations are getting in smaller and smaller hands.
And then there’s Kennedys and of course, the Bush-Walker-Davis family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush–Davis–Walker_family_political_line
Future generations will marvel at how we went from that to shit like Trump and Kushner
Edit: also gotta mention JP Morgan Chase bank being an insane merger
It’s called inbreeding ask spanish royalty.
¿Ehhhh como se dice…. “inbreeding”? Donde esta la bibliotheca
Ensanchado 😉🇪🇸
As an AMD GPU person I’ve been chuckling at the Nvidia drama from my high horse, but I guess I’m not safe either lmao
As a 3DFX person I have been asking, what is a pixel shader?
I understood that reference.
Trust me Lisa Su us also having a big LOL and champagne on this news.
You think she has a Chinese boy toy on the go?
Wouldn’t you?
Hello yes, is where we sign up for our chinese boy toy?
Team Red is not the Nvidia protest option we thought it was, especially since AMD is now a data center-first company too. I bought a 7900 XTX a few months ago because it was the only 24GB card still under $1k, but now the price has doubled.
Data centre first company is what burned any goodwill I had for AMD. What a complete misstep.
Edit - we kept them alive for the last 15 years, and this is the thanks we get.
Are you guys just now learning that corporations have a legal obligation to their shareholders and nobody else? It’s literally built into their DNA like an animal’s drive to reproduce.
Anyone running AMD who made a different choice would be violating their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.
That’s how C corps are designed.
I mean it’s the same thing as the RAM industry colluding fo make prices exorbitantly high. Of course they’re all going to maximize profits at all costs, they get sued into losing their roles at the company if they don’t loot everyone for all their money at all times
I think mine was maybe a little over $1k, back pre-RAMageddon.

It looks like one can get them at about that price still.
Ah, nice! The only ones I saw otherwise were going for closer to $2k.
he’s clearly just Mrs Doubtfire-ing
Well helllooooooooo!
imagine the thanksgiving banter
“Yeah my GPU’s might not be “the best” but I don’t need a fling on the side just to feel anything. BTW, how are your CPU’s going, still cuddling up to Mediatek? Pathetic. Processors for babies.”
She’s the one that called the FBI after he brought his new girlfriend to dinner last year.
Yes, but did he have an affair with her?
First cousin once removed. Supposedly they first met as adults in an industry meeting when their careers had already launched. It does seem like a crazy coincidence though.
It’s insane how many people are brainwashed into believing that historic wealth distribution doesn’t have an overwhelming impact on present wealth and success.
My parents achieved middle class from poverty but never learned how to manage money because their parents were uneducated farmers, orphans, etc. I grew up around both rich and poor kids. Most of the kids who went into “high skilled” “professional” roles had parents in those disciplines, and the wealthiest have the wealthiest grandparents. Even the “pros” that didn’t have that were far from poor. The poorer kids I knew are blue collar at best, but many fell to addiction, suicide, or fell off the face of the earth.
For every decamillionaire who came from the middle class, there are dozens whose families were already millionaires in the 20th Century.
Yes, but it’s still a massive coincidence that cousins who never met, a decade a part in age, raised by different families in different parts of the US are both CEOs of the two largest GPU manufacturers in the world.
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Because rich folks get their kids high level jobs. If they are remotely competent (not even talented), they’ll get jobs like CEO in a heart beat. Who you know and who you are related to still is the biggest indicator of success.
“Family Business” except never forget that AMD bought their way in by purchasing ATI, the once beloved Canadian video chip and card manufacturer. I miss the All-in-Wonder ❤️
are a family business
Well, were…
They fuckin too
I’m surprised people didn’t know this already.
