- ghaff 9y ago>And nothing changed. It sort of has. We've shifted a lot of computing to the back-end where we can use more servers. We're using alternative architectures that can be built into chips that are more efficient for some workloads, e.g. ARM. We're using GPUs and now TPUs for compute-intensive tasks like machine learning that can benefit from them. It's not clear to what degree we'll be able to replace process scaling with other approaches but certainly things will change with chips unable to just get denser/faster at a predictable rate any longer.
