That's exactly the point.
Performance/watt is increasing so much gen-to-gen that it makes no longer sense to run older hardware.
Not my words, Jensen's.
- danpalmer 8mo agoAre you saying that the person selling shovels thinks you should buy a new shovel? I guess they must be the expert.
- alex43578 8mo agoAre you saying that there hasn't been massive improvement in performance per watt metrics for datacenter GPUs, which directly affects performance and profitability of said DCs?
- danpalmer 8mo agoNo, I'm saying that we should quote numbers and real world examples rather than executives who have a vested interest.
- alex43578 8mo agoYou said "I guess they must be the expert", sarcastically, implying NVIDIA's CEO either didn't know or was wrong about the idea of perf/watt improvements. If you have evidence this is wrong, it would be great to present it. Otherwise, most reasonable people will accept that Jensen's statement is accurate, even if he's not a neutral 3rd party.
- kwanbix 8mo agoSo you are saying that the ceo of the company that builds the chips is saying that it makes sense to change them each generation?
