Am I missing something with the whole TPU vs GPU thing?
Am I missing something with the whole TPU vs GPU thing?
I was watching an interview with Jensen Huang and he basically said TPUs might be faster/cheaper for gen AI, but GPUs still win in other areas like gaming, research, etc.
Which makes sense… but isn’t most of ’s insane growth right now coming from AI anyway?
Like back when they were mainly gaming/mining, the company was way smaller. Now it’s a completely different scale because of AI demand.
So I’m kinda confused if TPUs are actually better for that one workload, does that matter long term or not really?
Curious how you all see it, feels like I’m missing a piece here.
You’re not crazy TPUs can be more efficient for very specific AI workloads but NVIDIA still wins on flexibility, ecosystem, and sheer adoption which is what’s driving that insane growth right now
honestly the software platform nvidia built is such a huge moat. it makes it really hard for companies to just switch over to something else even if the hardware is fast.
