Nvidia doesn’t make hardware. It designs hardware. TSMC makes hardware.

You can make the same comment for pretty much any company that outsources (some of) its production, and it’d be irrelevant, pedantic and off-topic every time.

You’re also wrong. TSMC produces but a small part of the products that Nvidia sells: the silicon. They don’t produce any of the tens of thousands other components that go in a server.

  • Its not being pedantic at all. Intel designs chips and manufactures chips. Intel’s major issue is not its design chops - some of its most advanced designs today are manufactured by TSMC.

    And calling the actual processor a “small part” of where Nvidia’s value is doesn’t jibe with reality.
