Serious question. How likely is for Nvidia to become relevant in the CPU space in the next 10-15 years? (talking specifically about their attempts in this market with things like Tegra)... OR is their goal to keep optimizing form factor, thermal efficiency, energy consumption, etc...to the point they can make a case for a stand-alone GPU effectively replacing a CPU?
- orbifold 9y agoThey've already build their own ARM cpu's, they are in the TX1, Nintendo Shield for example. Their most recent Volta GPU made significant progress in terms of general purpose programmability, it gained a much more flexible memory and concurrency model compared to previous chip generations. They also partner with IBM by supporting OpenCAPI for HPC.
