Pretty neat stuff, but you won't see anything close to this on the consumer market for years.

If anything gets spun off of this, it'll likely be a similar amount of CUDA cores, with about 1/2 or 1/3rd the RAM.

These type of cards rarely hit the consumer market at all. Which is OK. The gaming GPUs do just what they need to, whereas this is more for someone, like myself, that is a Developer or 3D Character Artist.


Certainly. I just thought it was interesting that people think this kind of card could somehow translate to the general market, when the specs are vastly different than most consumer-grade cards. A good comparison would be the Nvidia Titan. It has about 10% less CUDA cores, but 50% less RAM (even then, its an insane 6GB).

At any rate, such cards are an amazing feat for the market. Could you imagine if (magically) the PS4 or XB0 had something similar to a Titan on it!?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
