In bitcoin mining, GPU phase lasted only two years, before been outcompeted first by specialized FPGAs and then by ASICs. Nobody used GPUs for bitcoin mining since 2013. Maybe ML will follow similar path. But the computation is much different from ML, doesnt need memory at all.

- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoif they have transistors for gaming, this is extra unneeded cost from the matrix multiplication point of view. If they have not, those are not GPUs anymore.
