You can also look at what's been happening in mobile and especially with Apple's integrated processors. They are more power constrained, so people worried more about power there.
- DanielHB 2mo agoI believe the power gains from apple stuff mostly come from CPU and memory interconnect, unrelated to consumer-grade PC GPUs. Server-grade GPUs have different memory interconnect architecture which I assume already has similar power efficiency gains. I think raw flops per watt come mostly from fab process, not architecture. This was my original point, fab process is not getting better at a linear (much less exponential) scale anymore.
