Jensen Huang’s departure won’t stop AI. But it could cost the industry its most persuasive salesman. He wasn’t just selling GPUs. He was selling the belief that spending hundreds of billions today would buy tomorrow’s future. Chip roadmaps can be handed over. Engineering teams can keep building. Harder to replace is his ability to get cloud giants, investors, and governments to bet big at the same time. The real test isn’t whether the next GPU ships. It’s who can keep everyone signing those enormous checks.

From Logic Gates to FPGA LUTs youtu.be/BJscdAz9eMs?si=7mKu… The same logical function can have different physical implementations. A board may use dedicated logic-gate chips, an ASIC may use standard cells, and an FPGA may implement a function using a lookup table.
