Of course, it was clear Nvidia meant to budget internal project hours, however, it's laughable a company which has more money than god needs to act like it's scraping behind the couch cushions and can't spare a few hours of an engineer's time for a media chat which also results in positive publicity for them as well. Nividia was obviously trying to strong-arm them with that statement, mafia style.

Jensen opens every large meeting with the sentence "we will be out of business in 30 days, if you don't get things right". This is Nvidia's mantra for 3 decades and remains so even today.

There is a reason why Nvidia dominates and that's because when you're paranoid and desperate is when you innovate the most.

Jensen can do what he wants (until antitrust catches up with him) but the press and public don't have to accommodate his mental illness.
Exactly, and Nvidia doesn't have to talk to the press, right? Or send them anything for free?

The issue is that the press wants to show how a 8GB new card is slower than a 12GB older card in putting both in higher resolution comparison.

The press doesn't care about thinking or reasoning about product placement and instead wants to always uncover some scandal.

Nvidia clearly has communicated if you want the card for free then these are the conditions. You say yes or no. Nvidia HASN'T forbidden GN and others to buy the card and test independently, right?

This ain't it.
