Chapter 2151 - 554: Happy Birthday, Brother
The GTX680 and GTX690 for $499 on Amazon mostly say sold out.
Although it’s still dark in the far east.
Some unscrupulous merchants have already been woken up by congratulatory calls from their peers.
They have reached a consensus to raise prices and start selling as soon as they open tomorrow.
Those who have a lot of stock wish they could bow to Ancelotti.
While Huang Kaiwen and his teammates were still in dreamland.
Bi Yu released a message that further ignited the entire gaming community, stating on their official website: "Judging from current AI development, future game graphics card prices may rise significantly, and some game projects are temporarily on hold."
This was like knocking down a domino.
One tech company after another announced increased investment in AI projects.
One game company after another announced delays or postponements in some of their game projects.
CD Projekt RED’s newly initiated "Cyberpunk 2077" has generated a lot of anticipation among players because of its beautiful images, but they also announced an indefinite delay for the project.
When Huang Kaiwen woke up in the morning, he found his inbox full.
All of it is cross-national messages from Mr. Chen!
After reading them, Huang Kaiwen could only chuckle and shake his head.
AI technology development will push up graphics card prices.
Mr. Chen saw an opportunity for "Legend" to come back to life and plans to discuss the copyright of "Legend" with Korean partners.
If they still want half ownership like "Legend 2," with a price tag of one billion USD, Mr. Chen plans to follow in Mr. Ma’s footsteps and remake a "Legend" himself.
Only then did Huang Kaiwen realize the significant impact this matter would have.
Games that don’t rely on high-end graphics cards, as well as some console games, will benefit.
At this point, LOL is one of them.
Once he thought of making money, Huang Kaiwen immediately had someone contact Penguin to enhance the promotion of "League of Legends."
Meanwhile, he advised Riot to try delaying plans to improve the graphics quality.
Early LOL required very low system specs, which is one reason why it became globally popular; any old computer that wasn’t too outdated could play smoothly after downloading.
If it weren’t for the low hardware requirements, other aspects wouldn’t even be worth mentioning.
Even the best games need to be played to be valuable.
These days, not too many people would spend thousands assembling a new computer just to activate a sword.
Huang Kaiwen made several phone calls in a row.
Lily, rubbing her eyes, complained: "What are you doing? You woke me up."
"Nothing, go back to sleep."
Huang Kaiwen touched Lily’s head and changed clothes before heading downstairs.
Albert continued: "Master, Mr. Gagliani called me this morning, asking me to inform you that Mr. Guardiola’s injury requires surgery, so he will miss this entire season’s matches, just to prepare you mentally."
"Got it, I’ll call him later."
Huang Kaiwen expressed.
Being a player and coach is really exhausting.
Yellow Ball King doesn’t want to deal with this; let Old Maldini lead the team.
After all, Guardiola’s tactical system is well-structured.
While eating, Huang Kaiwen saw reports about the pitch everywhere.
Reports about Ancelotti’s AI are more teasingly humorous.
Huang Kaiwen shook his head, as the impact of this event will be significant, but will unfold gradually.
Eventually, the whole world will be shocked.
The unluckiest will definitely be the gamers; graphics card prices these days aren’t all that outrageous, with top-end ones costing just over 3000 to 4000 and around 1000 for quite decent game cards.
But with all this AI commotion, who knows how much they’ll cost next.
"Milan Sports Newspaper" wrote: "Bruche forced Chelsea to score a non-existent goal, leaving suspense for the next round. It’s hard to say it wasn’t premeditated, given it benefits the UEFA Champions League’s viewership."
Whether it was intentional, Huang Kaiwen cannot say.
But that it benefits UEFA Champions League’s ratings, that’s true.
"Corriere dello Sport": "Gattuso clearly stated that even if he saw such a goal, he wouldn’t make a fuss, as long as it benefits the team. In AC Milan, due to Kevin’s presence, such a goal isn’t even necessary."
Gattuso really knows his stuff.
No wonder he stands out among Milan’s group.
After breakfast, Huang Kaiwen went back upstairs.
Lily had already extended an invitation, so how could he not meet it?
On a day of rest, Huang Kaiwen and Lily stayed in bed watching movies.
When the young lady returned in the evening, she irritatedly chased him out of the bedroom.
Though Huang Kaiwen was fine physically, he decided to rest at home for a few days.
The next morning, the news was still largely on the controversial goal.
But Huang Kaiwen noticed two messages, or rather one, on The New York Times website: NVIDIA’s stock price surged with the wind from the east, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang had a brain hemorrhage due to excessive excitement and ended up in the hospital.
Holy shit!
Huang Kaiwen almost jumped up.
Even though they’re both surnamed Huang.
He and Yellow Dog are not of the same ilk.
Yellow Ball King is a national entrepreneur, Jensen Huang is a heartless capitalist.
If Jensen Huang kicked the bucket, Huang Kaiwen would celebrate with a bottle of champagne that night.
On April 21, Milan drew 1-1 away against Flying Donkeys Chievo.
Because Juventus won, Milan’s championship will be postponed by another match.
Chievo, besides its miraculous 17 years of survival, is most memorable to Huang Kaiwen for their captain Pellissier.
Chievo later had to disband due to a financial crisis.
