You know, it usually annoys me how unknowledgable a lot of posters on this forum can be. But every now and then, you get a gem like this and it's all worth it.
you are literally talking about what they were attempting to do with the cell processor lol.While the CPU is developing at a snails pace (with Moore's law breaking down), GPU's are developing at a higher pace. It's possible that at some point these will intersect, meaning that GPU's will be just as good as CPU's at general computation. GPU's can already do general computation it's just that they are slower than CPU's for these tasks.
I'm don't have actual in depth PC knowledge though.
I'm duct taping a bench to my GPU.
Tell that to Stadia
Crazy Ken was living in 2030, while failing to notice that the rest of us where still living in 2006. ;(you are literally talking about what they were attempting to do with the cell processor lol.
I have a really good troll thread I am thinking about posting that has to do with these GPUs but I am restraining myself
yup lmao when you said that i was like wait that def sounds like cell. lmao i actually found an academic paper where some people were trying to use it to do ray tracing lmao. it definitely was very very ambitious maybe one day it gets revisited but there is a reason why GPUs are great at what they do which is specialized work vs a CPU which is general.Crazy Ken was living 2030, while failing to notice that the rest of us where still living in 2006. ;(
Nah, I didn't make it. Has been floating around on Twitter.
This was used in a twitter response by Jez yesterday to those saying it makes next gen console obsolete at that price point.
Hey man, if Stadia could do it...
With the new reveals of these Nvidia cards yesterday are we now coming to a point where they will simply replace PCs completely.
Becoming all encompassing devices where you won't need PC's for memory, storage etc and everything will be on the graphics card Itself. It will be what people buy like a console Just one device rather than various parts and peripherals complicating things due to incompatibilities?
It seems to be heading this way with the size of these things and the memory where half of it can be used for memory and the other half for video memory. With the size of flash memory it would be easy to attach onto a GPU the size of a 3090 too. I mean the GPU is taller than a XBSX already so it can fit at least as much on.
Yeah, the technology just wasn't there yet, maybe it never will, but it made sense in theory.yup lmao when you said that i was like wait that def sounds like cell. lmao i actually found an academic paper where some people were trying to use it to do ray tracing lmao. it definitely was very very ambitious maybe one day it gets revisited but there is a reason why GPUs are great at what they do which is specialized work vs a CPU which is general.
