Have you looked at what you wrote? 40% increase is MASSIVE. Not only that but multi threaded the increase is in the several hundred percent range.

- ac29 6y ago40% is pretty big, but over 7 years that's not much. It wasn't that long ago that 40% increases were happening every 2 or 3 years.
- rbanffy 6y agoGordon Moore would be very disappointed with 40% every 2-3 years. OTOH, he would probably like how GPUs are progressing. Even though I'd say benchmarking fp16 GFLOPS against fp64 ones is cheating.
- ac29 6y agoMoore's law I think is widely misunderstood as computer chips doubling in speed every two years (or something to that effect). In fact, what it says is that the number of transistors doubles every two years, which is still roughly true. In 2020, its hard to buy single-threaded CPU speed by just throwing more transistors on a chip, which is why most performance gains have been found in multithreaded workloads (because you can trivially get more CPU cores by putting more transistors on a chip).
