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.'"

    just like how intel said they'd have 4nm chips? haha, wee dont believe that shit. we know far more than the companies about fabrication. QUEUEUE a 1000 posts about how 560x is unrealistic.

    Panties Stink!
    They really, really stink!
    Sometimes they're red, sometimes they're green,
    Sometimes they're white or black or pink
    Sometimes they're satin, sometimes they're lace
    Sometimes they're cotton and soak up stains
    But at the end of the day, it really makes you think
    Wooooooo-wheeeee! Panties stink!

    Sometimes they're on the bathroom floor
    Your girlfriend- what a whore!
    Sometimes they're warm and wet and raw
    From beneath the skirt of your mother-in-law
    Brownish stains from daily wear
    A gusset full of pubic hair
    Just make sure your nose is ready
    For the tang of a sweat-soaked wedgie
    In your hand a pair of drawers
    With a funky feminine discharge
    Give your nose a rest, fix yourself a drink
    cause wooooooo-wheeeeeee! panties stink!

    It's almost double the price and provides features you can only appreciate on a 120hz display. The 9800GT and 8800GT are the same price and the ATI card blows it out of the water. If you're buying cards in the $140 range you may or may not have a 120hz display. I don't know anyone who owns one though.

    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.

    I got modded troll for this!!!

    HAHAHAHAHH!!!

    This place continues to be a joke!!!! Thanks for proving my point! You mod the guy with the baseless claim as informative but then mod me a troll for pointing that out. Guess we don't want anyone exposing the silliness that goes on here. We don't want anyone challenging the status quo.

    What a joke this place is.
