the cpu will die and gpu thrive

Apr 27, 2024

Sequential CPU → parallel GPU as AI finds rules automatically

early computers were massively powered by CPU, that is more sequentilly orchestrated hard coded rules discovered by humans

the future of the computer is rules discovered automatically leveraging GPUs

atm market is

intel $90b

nvidia $30b

soon

nvidia $180b

intel $120b

etc.

80/20

still think we will have cpus for a while

until we have humans, we have cpus

if we get 100% replaced by machines there will be no cpus anymore

in a way cpu is kind of a mean to “slow down” to adapt to how our brain deal w the world, in a different fashion than AI
