1. Moore's Law lives! Nvidia's new 54 billion transistor GPU continues the march of Moore's Law, tho costs are no longer staying constant. 2. In 2020, the world's #1 chip is from a ‘gaming’ company and #2 chip is from a ‘web retailer’. How the leaderboard has changed.. https://tw…

Couple of things about this keynote 1. Its from a kitchen, with the obvious “baking something” cheap gag. 2. there are no customers involved. 3. its less than 15 minutes long. This might be the perfect keynote for virtual events. cc @jtroyer https://twitter.com/...

1) Is Ampere being 20x better than Volta good or bad for all of the AI silicon startups that are “10x” better than Volta on a single algorithm on one framework? 😀 Especially given that *none* of them except Habana have posted the 10x results on MLPerf. https://venturebeat.com/...
