NVIDIA Summary

NVIDIA is facing various challenges and developments in the tech space as reported in recent updates. A Reddit user shared their frustration after NVIDIA refused to replace the broken 16-pin power connector retention clip on their RTX 5080 Founders Edition GPU, claiming that the company is trying to 'burn my house down.' Meanwhile, Zotac denied an RMA for an RTX 5070 Ti due to alleged irreversible PCB damage, offering to dispose of the GPU free of charge, which has sparked discussions about warranty practices in the industry.

On a more historical note, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang revealed on a Joe Rogan podcast that the foundation of deep learning was built on two GTX 580s in SLI back in 2012, highlighting the legacy of NVIDIA's technology.

Additionally, Huang mentioned the significant time difference in data center construction between the U.S. and China, noting that while U.S. data centers take about three years to build, China can construct a hospital in a weekend, emphasizing contrasting infrastructure capabilities.
