MODERATORS
They are also hoping to kill the consumer market, it's too much effort and can't be manipulated as easily by taking a b2b customer CEO out to lunch on your yacht.
It's probably easier in b2b because you can either show Max performance or Max performance per watt to close the business. For b2c, you need marketing and more downstream collaboration for products.
Absolutely, it's a whole production to be competitive in b2c. On the other hand, I think doing well in B2C has downstream benefits for business hardware sales (ASSUMING the market is not captured via backroom deals and the opinion of normal humans is a factor in sales).
Speak for yourself. I'd be down for a nice lunch and a yacht trip. Maybe even some seduction! I wanted to buy a new gaming PC for a few years now anyway.
Tell them you want like a thousand threadrippers, but then excuse yourself to the bathroom, say you was allergic to something in the food, and that it led you to believe you would start with a single consumer-grade card.
And a threadripper. And I see it more like the sample than an actual purchase. So of course it's free.
Sigh, you are probably right.
Though good PR is valuable.
