Pyro as Bill said:
Can DLSS tensor cores be added via USB?
"In July 2018, Google announced the Edge TPU.....The product offerings include a single board computer (SBC), a system on module (SoM), a USB accessory, a mini PCI-e card, and an M.2 card."
How is AMD still in the graphics card business if Nvidia can jump 2 gens ahead with AI?

Nope. There are dependencies in the GPU design that ties the tensor cores to other portions of the chip.
nVidia would need to start from scratch essentially for a "tensor chip". But that won't come cheap... You would be better off grabbing Tegra Xavier and disabling all the junk you don't need... But then you have the bandwidth and latency issue of USB.
Because AMD focuses on price/performance... And AMD can justify the GPU arm due to integration with their CPU products with "APU's". - AMD still doesn't have Ray Tracing yet for example in the PC space... But their GPU's being very compute-centric tends to be lucrative purchase decisions for folding, mining and other activities.
But don't kid yourself, AMD's market share is significantly smaller in the GPU space than they were pre-Graphics Core Next... And mostly because they have been a generation or two behind nVidia in terms of overall efficiency and features.
That doesn't make their products bad though, AMD just plays the pricing game instead.

Thanks Pem. Sounds like they've fallen way behind since the days of the HD4870 if Nvidia can cheat their way to 4K and double the FPS with AI.
Does that mean Sony/MS's next consoles can't do ray tracing and AI-magic or do they use their own tech for that stuff? It sounds like Nvidia is who you'd choose to make your GPU unless you want to mine dogecoin.
