NVIDIA is ready to resume the release of specialized GPUs for mining
Graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA allows the resumption of the release of specialized graphics chips (GPUs) focused on cryptocurrency mining. Colette Kress, executive vice president and CFO of NVIDIA, said that if demand rises to “meaningful” levels, the company could again launch CMP – GPUs with remote video outputs, making them cheaper. Currently, RTX 30 series graphics cards are popular among miners, however, according to Kress, NVIDIA no longer considers cryptocurrencies an important part of their business. It is assumed that the resumption of the release of CMP will free up graphics cards for gamers. Against the background of the next take-off of the cryptocurrency market, a shortage of video cards arose again, as it was in 2017-2018.
