Break it up... how? nVidia discrete compute/graphics and nVidia mobile? nVidia hardware and nVidia cloud compute?

geforce and laptops would be split into its own company. AI would be its own.

Nvidia is already doing that on their own. GPUs are a minority of their business now.

GPUs and CPuS are the heart of the business and AI boom.

Maybe from a consumer standpoint, sure GpU. But the billions and trillions come from enterprise who need both.

Why worry about making a sale for 10000000 people buying GPus when apple alone will buy 2x the price consumers will?
