You're ignoring the main factor: cost.
Intel's offering costs as high as €4000 per processor, which come with a meager 8 cores.
NVidia's offering sells, right now, for less than €1000 a pop.
- daemin 10y agoWhat about ongoing electricity costs? IIRC my graphics card chews up more power than my CPU.
- geezerjay 10y agoA delta of $3000 per component buys you a whole lot of electricity. Furthermore, the performance of each of NVidia's GPUs falls somewhere between 5 and 20 teraFLOPs. A Haswell Xeon gets you about half a teraFLOP for around 1/3 of the power consumption of a NVidia Tesla P100 GPU.
- bonzini 10y agoI am not sure where you get those numbers. Both a Knights Landing Xeon Phi and a Tesla K80 are about 3 teraflops for $5000. Comparing GPUs with Xeons makes no sense.
