GTC China 2017 : Moore’s Law Is Dead, GPUs Will Replace CPUs In Future,

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has said that GPU computing following the decline of the CPU era has killed off Moore's Law.

Huang said that it was just as well that Nvidia had a GPU-centered ecosystem which had won support from China's top-five AI players and was in a good position to do well on it all.

He was talking to the assembled throngs at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) China 2017, in Beijing, on the topic of "AI: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities". He claimed to be the first head of a major semiconductor company to say publicly that Moore's Law is dead.

Without a doubt, the advancements in GPU, propelled by neural network performance, have outpaced the improvements in CPUs. In numbers, while the CPU transistors have grown at an annual 50% pace, their performance boost has just been 10%.

Huang added that the top 5 e-commerce powers of China, Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, JD.com, and iFLYTEK, are using Nvidia Volta GPUs to support their cloud. Moreover, Lenovo and Huawei have deployed HGX-based GPU servers.

He showed faith in Nvidia’s GPUs and claimed that they’ll be able to replace CPUs in the upcoming years.

In the past, Intel has repeatedly refused to entertain the reports which claimed the death of Moore’s Law. What are your views? Don’t forget to take part in this discussion and share your feedback with us.
