The verge has seemingly been doing this a lot recently and it's been very annoying. It's not obvious that any given article will be paywalled or not. It would be nice if they at least marked them.

which means close the site and ignore the article. Or wait for some kind soul to post the archived version on HN lol.

#6I have not watched Intel closely for a long time. Seeing that its market cap is down 30% over the last decade is crazy. Considering how IT in general grew so much over the same time period. What happened?
To see how the Intel CEO is thinking, I now scrolled through a few interviews with him.
In this interview, Intel's CEO is asked to describe the difference of a CPU and a GPU:

His answer is that the CPU is capable of doing general computing, while a GPU is made for very specific tasks.
I'm not sure if that is a good way to put it.
The way I would put it is that a GPU is a bit like an array of many CPUs. And to manage this array of processors all doing computation at the same time brings constraints and management overhead. So it is usually harder to program a GPU but results in better performance.

The article sheds some light on what’s been going on. You’ll also be happy to know that the video you linked to is not a video of the current Intel CEO.

I think you are right about CPU vs. GPU. It’s complex independent cores vs. simple array cores.
The largest part of that “overhead” is the need for much higher memory bandwidth and caching due to having many more cores to feed.
And the added complexity of programming is managing groups of cores (and multiple groups of cores) so they are all as active as possible without blocking each other algorithmically or due to memory misalignments, page read/write inconsistency, or cross interference.
With many more cores achieved with smaller cores: streamlined Arithmetic Control Units, less pipelining (?) and a simpler/shared Instruction Control Unit.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

I might get kicked out of the cool kids club for suggesting this, but, err, maybe we could use money in exchange for goods and se services?
I know! it's a crazy idea. it'll never work. but still.

But he's the CEO under whom things went downhill, right?
