No one is shopping for GPU by fp8, fp16, fp32, fp64. It's all about cost/performance factor. 8 bits is as good as 32bits, great performance is even been pulled out of 4 bits...
- fancyfredbot 2y agoThis is like saying I'm faster because I ran (a mile) in 8 minutes whereas it took you 15 minutes (to run two miles).
- scottlamb 2y agoI think it's more like saying I ran a mile in 8 minutes whereas it took you 15 minutes to run the same distance, but you weigh twice what I do and also can squat 600 lbs. Like, that's impressive, but it's sure not helping your running time. Dropping the analogy: f64 multiplication is a lot harder than f8 multiplication, but for ML tasks it's just not needed. f8 multiplication hardware is the right tool for the job.
