NVIDIA Plans to Reduce RTX 50 Production by Up to 40% in Early 2026

Or buy your 5070 Ti now? To me, this implies that Nvidia is switching production capacity to commercial AI customers where margins are higher. Or I could be totally out of touch. Maybe time to buy the 5070 Ti because AMD hasn't been able to put out anything to beat that card. (I'm running a 7900 XTX right now and the eval sites indicate it gets beat by the 5070 Ti.)
 
Yep, Nvidia is following the big money, which will leave AMD as the primary supplier of video cards for consumers. I firmly believe that competition within a market is a great thing, I see this as competition leaving a market.

further to the above and for those not already in the know, this is the overarching goal: https://ai-2027.com/ and a critique of said goal: https://www.ibm.com/think/news/world-models-smarter-ai suggesting that AGI goalposts/milestones are nowhere close to what was previously thought; scaling up LLMs is no longer considered a feasible means to bringing about AGI

not just that, but with the likes of Nvidia GeForce Now https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/ one will ultimately end up paying for a subscription to an off-site hardware data center to run a subscription based game / sim i.e. cloud-gaming in entirety; a cheap, low end hardware with a fast internet connection will be all one will require; any notions of ownership are being relegated to the past in the context of the new hardware / software subscription models
