NVIDIA Predicts 570x GPU Performance Boost

Gianna Borgnine writes "NVIDIA is predicting that GPU performance is going to increase a whopping 570-fold in the next six years. According to TG Daily, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang made the prediction at this year's Hot Chips symposium. Huang claimed that while the performance of GPU silicon is heading for a monumental increase in the next six years — making it 570 times faster than the products available today — CPU technology will find itself lagging behind, increasing to a mere 3 times current performance levels. 'Huang also discussed a number of "real-world" GPU applications, including energy exploration, interactive ray tracing and CGI simulations.'"

    So does this mean in 6 years, the average core clock of a GPU in Megahertz will be... OVER 9000?!?!

    Next time read the article...the guy making the prediction is the CEO of Nvidia.

    I guess because you used big words and acted real confident in your dismissal people modded you informative. Next time read the article and don't spout of about GPU's performing branching as if that's even on the table and thus somehow dismisses this guys prediction.
