It's become more of a term for highly parallel processor units in general, one which NVidia encourages because it ties their product offering together
- Havoc 4y agoTrue. I guess those are almost ASICs in a way just with gpu flavour interface
- capableweb 4y agoWay less specialized though. I think why most don't go for ASICs at this point, is because once you actually have units being produced, things have changed so much that you'd wish you had something more flexible. That's why general purpose GPUs are used today.
- highduc 4y agoDidn't this happen in mining? When finally they got their machines new better tech came out already.
- capableweb 4y agoWell, Bitcoin ASICs are still the beast when it comes to Bitcoin mining. Some other cryptocurrencies use other methods for mining, so those ASICs won't work for that, but who's to say what's the better tech in the cryptocurrency space :shrug:
