What (if any) are the national security implications of the NVIDIA leaks?

Would love to know the direction of travel with respect to the government - have they woken up to the flexibility of the tech and want to regulate heavily or is it more hands-off internally - leaving it to the market to decide.

Will High-end gamers really even need to use FSR/DLSS/Raytracing or should they? Assuming they buy one of the top end Video cards they should be able to put out 4K native @120hrz easily to their monitor of choice with the next generation. Even now I find raytracing to not be worth it in any scenario due to the very little difference it makes to the games looks in most situation vs the performance hit we take for using it. Even now I run 4K 120 with some minor tweaks and am quite happy; will i even care? should I care after we double performance again?

Do you believe there is some sort of tech war going on against China? Is the US concerned that China could become the new tech capital of the world and become a source for most of the world's supply of computer hardware?

The transistor density of new chip manufacturing processes is still improving but the cost per wafer is now increasing about as fast it seems. In other words, the cost per transistor is only improving very slowly, or perhaps not at all. Do you agree and do you think end customers will need to adjust their expectations for new products? Would you expect the manufacturing side to change to mitigate this?

Hello Tom and Matt! Are there any news regarding FSR 2.0 and/or XeSS? How do you expect them to stack up against DLSS 2.x, and do you think one of them will become the standard by virtue of being open source and vendor agnostic?

Given "Matt's" experience with FPGAs, any thoughts on the Xilinx/AMD merger, competitive positioning of Xilinx v Altera? I hear Altera focuses on making programming an FPGA easier, while Xilinx seems to have gone the app store route. Is that correct view, and which approach do you feel is more desirable by the market?

What will it take to reverse Google's "invasion" of everything internet, from email, search, and browsers to smartphone OSes and internet connections?

In the last decade or so there was a very strong focus on antialiasing and techniques to basically render "better than the screen resolution", now we suddenly have DLSS, FSR, and XeSS going the other way, trying to enable rendering below the screen resolution at acceptable quality levels. What gives? What drove this change? Why is MSAA suddenly lost and forgotten?

Hi Matt, do you think FPGAs will come to consumer products? How do you think they will impact computing?

Hello Matt & Tom If china does invade taiwan after seeing whats happening with Ukraine, how do you think it will affect PC and semi conductor space in general.

With the new paradigm shifts in chiplet designs, and ai reconstruction, how do you see these things effecting the low end, since they have more scalability per waifer, and we have matrix accelerators in every new product I'm hopeful for GPUs to run more fps and last longer with high quality of life for the gamer?
