The internet, sure. But GPUs will figure out new ways to parallelize, which is not dead yet.

- sgift 8y agoThe problem is not that we cannot parallelize hardware. The problem is that the software making use of it is lacking. 24 cores is plenty, but if most software only uses one core even more cores won't help.
- speedplane 8y agoGPUs can just do fast matrix multiplications in parallel, but it’s up to the developer to reframe their software into matrix multiplications. For some applications it’s great, but for most it isn’t realistic. Also if General processors are now hitting a wall, it’s only a matter of time before GPUs do.
