EVGA's death is one of the saddest deaths I've seen. Like, I can appreciate that the owner wants out of the and he doesn't want to see the company he built fall apart in someone else's hands but at the same time, losing EVGA is a true loss and honestly, it feels worse to lose them like this than to see someone else destroy them with greed and incompetence.

Do you recall in Beauty and the Beast when the Beast caged those birds because he loved their singing, but their depression made them not sing anymore? That bird is EVGA. The singing was never ours to begin with and we could only enjoy it for as long as EVGA was a happy bird. There was no option to keep them. 😭

[@SpartanArmy117]

Yeah it honestly seems a bit selfish in some ways. I get why they don't want to work in the GPU space anymore but also they just tanked the entire company and destroyed many jobs to make a point which is falling on deaf ears anyway. A real shame.

[@hackerx7329]

Could be a change on the manufacturing side with parts suppliers or a logistics issue or something like that. All it would take would be a bunch of capacitors having to be rejected by QC and having to switch to an alternate supplier.

[@yeahcxnt]

Aren’t capacitors pretty standard and easy to get? Or no?

[@hackerx7329]

@@yeahcxnt not so much when you are talking large scale manufacturing orders of hundreds of thousands or millions of them at a time. A single voltage and fared rated cap could potentially be in the design of the power circuitry for every single product they make so switching suppliers on that scale could have weeks of lead time if the manufacturer wasn't running a huge surplus. I chose caps as the example not just because everything uses at least a few of them but because you can find many past examples of massive product failure rates due to batches of bad capacitors.

[@luminescentlion]

Considering I just had to DMS every capacitor every supplied by one supplier and it appears in an insane number of our products.... This is very probably. Out situation is exaggerated though because Milspec and 25 years of continuing support isn't standard.

[@williamking9707]

That wouldn't really fix anything. On the one hand, EVGA has experience making boards, not processing cores. ARC's shortcoming isn't even there though, its in software/firmware optimization. That's their crippling issue ATM. Horsepower wise, they're okay. Not crown tier, but acceptable. It's just that there aren't many things optimized to actually use that performance properly. The owner of EVGA/CEO has also stated quite explicitly that he has no intention of letting EVGA go, whether public or to a buyout. Finally, that exact thing is half the reason EVGA has such an outstanding track record- they don't have the bean counters that intel bows to meddling in things they do not understand. If intel acquired EVGA, it would take exceedingly little time for them to ruin their good name in the pursuit myopic greed. It WOULD be nice for ARC to become a serious competitor and duke it out with NVIDIA, but acquiring EVGA is not the way to do it, even if they were willing to work with intel, which reportedly, they are not.
