Moore's law is great, isn't it.

2020-09-02 at 4:41 AM UTCFor the price of what my gtx 780 was in 2014 I can get a 20tflop gpu in 2020.

My gtx 780 is 4tflops I think ... That's an incredible leap.
The PS4 is only 10tflops ...
I wonder what 20tflops would even produce ... It'll obviously never be put to full use.
Something like this is just useful for VR, since you have two images running simultaneously in 90fps at very high resolutions. -
2020-09-02 at 4:50 AM UTCflops are just instructions, what instructions you have available is also important when thinking about capabilities
-
2020-09-02 at 5:53 AM UTCIt's all irrelevant compared to the giant technological leap from aprox 95 to 2005.

2020-09-02 at 5:59 AM UTCyeah I don't think Moore's Law even applies anymore, we're coming up against maximum feasible transistor density and to go further we'd need to completely retool chip factories or start on a completely new paradigm. or just make chips bigger, like Threadripper I guess

2020-09-02 at 12:39 PM UTCOppie, you remember that post you made a few months ago about the PS5 being faster than any PC...as I told you at the time...things change and will before the PS5 is even released.
That just happened.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

i disagree. the better or best games were in 95 and definitely not 2005. since 00-2005 gaming stagnated both in 3d early looking polygon stuff thwts forgettable wnd in actual production and storytelling. 95-2000 was awesome with the dreamcast and shenmue 1-2 as wlel as morrowing being the last if this ers and better thsn reslly anything for at least 15 yrs after. -

That was about the SSD, not gpus.

what are you even trying to say here
FLOPS - FLoating point OPerationS. Basically just denotes the number of mathematical operations that can be performed per second, which is at the mercy of which operations are available and how efficient they are (ie. how registers/memory are utilised).

this isn't about games, it's about the explosion of raw computing power -
2020-09-03 at 12:23 AM UTCThere is an industry class GPU available from Nvidia that hits 124tflops.
That'll be the standard for users around the late 2020s.
Obviously right now it's for machine learning and science but by 2027 it'll be for 8k HDR VR titties. -

which means nothing or is poinless unless developers know how to use it or take the time and resources ro maximise it which they never do. hence why imo ps5 and having the ltest greatest gpu is always pointless. menaing being an early console owner when i said ps5. -

I think I read theyre hitting a point where weird electron-behavior starts to intervene with the swithches.or just make chips bigger
^^^ I dont totally get the obsession with making this shit on picoscales, space is cheap... microturization not so much. -
2020-09-03 at 9:56 AM UTCMoores law has made mainstream software development incredibly gay.
Programmers used to actually write their own algorith. Now they're mainly integration programmers, gluing together libraries.

When you factor in a cumulative rate of inflation of 9.4% between 2014 and today you are actually paying more. -

As we pointed out at the time the SSD is/was already beaten...now the GPU is way ahead of it too...the PS5 is oboslete technology before it's even released.
You're still rockin an Oculus Go...(also obsolete) -

It's not.
They haven't made a sucessor to the Go yet.
Also I still use my dk1 (not that a plebe like you knows what that is anyway).
