       | and doesn't sell M-chips to third parties, Google shuts down
       | products and hasn't been successful in creating a new product for
       | years now, Meta is Meta, OpenAI depends on MSFT money and I guess
       | sama's venture into GPUs using Middle East money is scrapped now,
       | Amazon seems to enjoy AWS a little too much.

       | Fermi was given the nickname "Thermi" for a good reason. AMD
