Have they ever considered that the subsidy goes the other way?
The margins on an A100 card is probably 100% higher than a RTX4090. Gaming industry is also like THE first industry to be revolutionized by AI. Current stuff like DLSS and AI-accelerated path tracing are mere toys compared to what will come.
Nvidia will not give up gaming. When every gamer has a Nvidia card, every potential AI developer to spring up from those gamers, will use Nvidia by default. It also helps gaming GPUs are still lucrative.

That's a great counter point.

Another. But Nvidia will have a lot of balancing to do and some very thirsty competitors. Though if competition arises, that too is good for gamers.
Nah, volume sales & the ability to bin. A100 would be a much more expensive product if they couldn't sell defective chips as consumer GPUs. Pretty sure that the R&D cost of the workstation cards means that those cards are technically sold at a loss with Nvidia knowing that consumer sales will make up for it.
