> We’re talking 3 orders of magnitude better performance for GPUs, about what a decade and a half of compounded transistor count for a multicore architecture would predict. > I wonder if something like an ARM or AMD with a MIPS instruction set aiming for more cores like the Teraflops or Kilocore that ran OpenGL (and TensorFlow and other AI libs had they existed) natively might have done for computing back in the day. Intel tried to replace the GPU by lots of cores in the Larrabee project. This project was not as successful as imagined. It was realigned and the result is the Xeon Phi.
