Off-topic but I wonder if there's some creative department at Nvidia, whose job is to invent a compelling mass-market uses for their beefy GPUs, as crypto rush is fading out and the gaming market hasn't much potential to grow further.
- atonse 6y agoI remember talking to a dude 10 years ago at an unconference whose grad project was to reimplement Database indexes to use GPUs. He was saying in some prototypes he was yielding orders of magnitude better performance, but it was still a very obscure idea. This is the sort of stuff I'm sure they're already working on to find new customers.
- lozaning 6y agoCrypto rush is doing anything but fading. Eth mainnet has more hashing power on it now than it ever has. Nvidia is selling 30 series cards directly to mining firms, much to the chagrin of anyone who wants to buy one for themselves. https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate
