American Chip developer company Nvidia cites the decline in CMP sales as the reason for its share price dip. The company stated that its 52% decrease for its Q1 of “OAM and other” investments was because of the decrease in CMP sales. Nvidia made this claim in a file on Wednesday.
Nvidia made $24 million from CMP source returns in 2021. This also saw a disconcerting decrease of 77% over the previous year.
Last year January, the corporation introduced the CMP product to discourage cryptocurrency miners from storing up existing mining devices like Ethereum’s famous GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

While the chipmaker didn’t explain the exact sales amount its CMP sales provided, it did tag the value “nominal” and over $155 million in loss from the previous year.
Nvidia shares tumble at the end of Q1
From 2021’s last quarter in 2022 to the first quarter of 2022, the company saw strong quarterly growth and increased returns by 8 percent. The company’s total revenue reached $8.98 million. The shares rose by 3.3%, to $1.36 per share. In addition, the chipmaker stated that it’d continue its buyback program reaching 2023 end, and it is worth $15 billion.
Nvidia, The Q2
Nvidia is seeing a decrease in CMP-mining chips’ interest during Q2. The reasons why this is so might probably be because of Ethereum’s porting to the Proof-of-staking mechanism. The current bear market, or the recently deployed products from the industry leader—Intel Corporation. We don’t know, but we do know that the tech giant isn’t experiencing a good time at its current turnover.
Q2 isn’t starting as interesting as Q1, and pundits project a 4% loss to $8 billion in turnover. Nvidia shares fell 7% to $157.8 during Thursday’s after-hours trades. Additionally, the NVDA shares have seen a decrease of almost 50% in their year-over-2018 report. This is a sign that tech stocks are not looking good.

During last year’s Q2, Nvidia encountered a 33% dip from expected returns, reaching $266 million, then $106 million in Q3, and $24 million in Q4. This value is still falling. This chipmaker revised its Q2 expectations, summarising it at $8.1 billion due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Lockdown in China.
Nvidia CMP & Cryptocurrency Mining
Nvidia’s Santa Clara-situated CMPs can be effective for mining Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital assets that use the Proof of Work consensus mechanism. In addition, the token’s graphics card, built for gaming, can be effective for mining cryptocurrency except restricted.
CMPs can be found in very limited quantities. Even on secondary markets, it’s rare to find them. This makes sales more unlikely.
