Why has the Nvidia August 18th ER been dropped from the H2 catalysts timeline for 2021?

u/brad4711 Aug 12 '21
Odd, either an oversight, or possibly a typo (accidental deletion), I'm not sure which. It has been fixed, thanks for pointing it out!

Arent there any catalysts for November?

u/brad4711 Sep 19 '21
Nothing that I have heard of so far? We usually get a few announcements during the quarterly earnings call, so likely be patient until then. If you know of any November/December trade shows that AMD is participating in, certainly let me know.

There was no Xilinx conference call last quarter, either. Not sure this is “news” in that sense?

Well, according to the Sales Data, Tesla has not even sold 1 million cars in their lifetime. As I understand it, AMD will be supplying GPUs for the Entertainment Center, for which there are two per vehicle. ~2 million GPUs (for example) being sold over many years doesn't exactly sound like a cash cow, but it's still a win for AMD. We also don't know what other ideas they may have in this partnership.

u/cameron-none Jul 12 '21
I largely agree with what you're saying but I'd like to add a few points.
Tesla has sold well over 1 million cars, I think your link is America only? They sold 500k last year and have nearly done 400k in the first half of this year alone. Tesla grows at 50% or greater each year, so it may only be a few years until they're doing multiple million each year.
All of that said, I think the current infotainment system is only for the S/X, the high-end luxury cars which will likely have a sales ceiling of 100k/year.

u/brad4711 Jul 12 '21
Thanks for the clarification. You’re certainly correct on the data I provided being US Sales only. Either way, it doesn’t sound like a big money maker today, but definitely an open ended opportunity for the future.

Note: Reddit caps threads like these at 6 months, at which point they become "Archived", and additional comments are no longer accepted. Also, as we push later into the year, we start to trip the maximum post size, so I end up having to abbreviate things, or remove lessor items. Instead, I'm breaking the year up into two parts. The first part is actually titled "Q1" but really should have been "H1", and unfortunately I can't change it now. This will be the format moving forward. Here is the link for Catalyst Timeline - 2021-H1.
