- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoAt this scale - I’m not convinced that $5,000 worth of ASICs would have the same performance as $5,000 worth of GeForce cards - especially after factoring in lead-time to design the ASIC. As for FPGAs - forgive my ignorance - but can they even handle that kind of load? In my head I just see them breaking-down under the sheer thermal load.
