By the way, let's hope with bit of info is true so we can have nice and good priced GPUs in the near future:
IBM is developing an analogue AI chip that might just save our GPUs for gaming
https://www.pcgamer.com/ibm-is-developing-an-analogue-ai-chip-that-might-just-save-our-gpus-for-gaming/
IBM claims to have cooked up a new mixed-signal part-analogue chip using a combination of phase-change memory and digital circuits that it's claiming will match GPU performance when it comes to AI inferencing but do so at much greater efficiency.
No, we don't entirely understand that either. But the implications are easy enough to grasp. If this chip takes off, it could put a cap on the skyrocketing demand for GPUs used in AI processing and save them for, you know, gaming.
According to El Reg, this isn't the first such chip IBM has produced. But it's on a much larger scale and is claimed to demonstrate many of the building blocks that will be needed to deliver a viable low-power analogue AI inference accelerator chip.
