For Nvidia's market, imo we have to be careful to separate out which kind of ML specifically. Certain kinds of training of deep networks get large speedups from GPUs, which isn't true of all ML techniques. So if Nvidia wants to get a big win in this space by being a vertically integrated tool supplier leveraging GPU hardware, the strategy is tied to a bet on a specific subset of ML techniques, those where the ratio of GPU:CPU performance is especially large.
