| 00:00 - 00:03 | We have 4080 Founder's Edition shipments |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | being rolled out through |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | the European retailers as we speak. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | However, our AIB partners are continuing to complain about their margins. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Especially in light of EVGA abandoning the market. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | The FE cards will sell out immediately. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | The only cards available in volume will be our partners. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mr. Huang... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The FE... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The FE cards have been in stock in the UK... |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | ...all afternoon and haven't sold out. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone that's working on data center get out. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | This is all fucking Buterin's fault! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | For years he was crying wolf about |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | the fucking Ethereum merge and nobody believed it'd ever happen. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | We were making out like bandits and he |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | had to go and fucking put his money where his mouth is. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | I had to take it up the arse from TSMC |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | to postpone our 4 nanometre allocation |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | when that bastard killed off GPU mining. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Mr. Huang, the 4090 is still selling well... |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Have you *seen* how much we pay for those fucking dies? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | You told us to make the best GPU... |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | I told engineering to make something to beat AMD.... |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | What I *didn't* ask for |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | was a design that only gets |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | one-and-a-half dies out of a wafer and needs |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | a fucking generator to power it! |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | And to top it all off, I've got to go to the board... |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | and explain why our state-of-the-art $1,600 GPU is a fire hazard. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | They're *still* giving me shit for having to... |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | ...compensate the AIBs for rebranding the 4080 12GB. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I already took a bath on the 3090 Ti... |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | ...I can't fucking give those things away. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | And if the 4080 FE's aren't selling... |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | the next phone call I get... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | will be a bunch of board partners looking for more handouts. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | I'll be lucky if this time next week... |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | ...I'm not working under Raja Koduri at Intel. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | All they had to do was... |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | ...keep the mining gravy train rolling. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | I'm sure you'll get your Ethereum back from FTX. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Want to hear something funny? |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | I'd just told manufacturing to start producing... |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | ...the 4090 Ti. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | You do know... |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | ...that Lisa Su's laughing her ass off at us right now. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | "Have a safe Christmas" |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Tossers. |
