We know that GPUs are really good at far more than ray tracing and matrix multiplication. Oversimplifying a bit, they’re great at basically any massively parallel operation that has minimal branching and can fit in memory. Using a GPU to just add two images together probably isn’t worth it, but many real world workflows allow you to operate solely on the GPU. If you’re Disney, you can afford boxes with 10+ A100s with NVLink sharing the memory in a single 400+ GB pool. Unknown if that ends up being more economical than the equivalent CPU version, but it’s important to understand in order to evaluate the future of GPUs.
