Did they just accidentally kill NVidia's business model?
- numpad0 7y agoOnly if it works and scales? NVIDIA can still build like 128 core ARM if they absolutely has to.
- zozbot234 7y agoI don't think so. Matrix multiplication has plenty of uses besides neural network training, and GPUs will still excel at those workloads.
- bitL 7y agoMatrix multiplication with INT8, INT16 or BFLOAT16 doesn't have that many uses outside Deep Learning.
- jmmcd 7y agoEven if they killed it, it wasn't accidental!
- qayxc 7y agoI don't think so. Keep in mind that DL training is only a minuscule part of GPGPU applications. HPC is still a huge market with a strong demand for compute accelerator cards. In practice, TPUs and SoCs with inference extensions are a much bigger threat for NVIDIA in the cloud and automotive business.
- imtringued 7y agoNVidia could add special accelerator instructions to their GPUs to efficiently implement the same algorithms and then they would be significantly ahead of Intel and AMD.
