Graphics is very parallel, and so not that affected by a single-core performance plateau. We can keep increasing number of gpu cores.

- IshKebab 4y agoSure but not many people want a 1 kW GPU.
- awestroke 4y agoThat has more to do with frequency. Frequency requires higher voltage
- IshKebab 4y agoNot really, frequency has plateaued precisely because of the crazy power scaling with frequency. The easily parallelisable nature of graphics means you can always make a faster GPU with more cores. The trouble is, newer nodes aren't reducing power usage per transistor very much, so all the newer GPUs just have a ton more silicon, and therefore much higher power requirements.
