    Why does that make a difference? Compute for AI is build on the progress for compute first for GPU then for data center. They are similar in nature.
    Yes they have exceeded 2x for AI for a while, but that has been achieved through exploding cost, but even that won’t make a million times faster in 10 years possible.

      Building an ASIC for purpose built computation is significantly faster than generic gpu compute cores. Like when ASICs were built for bitcoin mining/sha256 and a little 5 watt usb device could outperform the best GPUs

        It may be even more specialized than that. It might be a return to analog computers.

        Which isn’t going to work for Nvidia’s traditional products, either.
