This is about scaling. Since you usually can't achieve 8x speed with 8 chips (there will be issues with interconnect, algorithm, etc.), 8x speed with 8 chips is noteworthy. Although I wouldn't describe that scaling work as "8 times more powerful" myself.
- Voloskaya 9y ago~8x speed with 8 chips of the same generation would obviously be very impressive. But 8x speed with 8 chips compared to a last year's single chip is definitely not the same thing. Pretty sure you can get more than (or around) 8x speed up when comparing 8 V100 vs a single P100 for example.
