I actually got a lot more upbeat about the potential of AI after watching this keynote more so than any other demonstration or presentation. Blackwell is still based on N4, a derivative of 5nm. We know we will have N3 GPU next year, and they should be working with TSMC on capacity planning for N2. Currently Blackwell is pretty much limited by capacity of either TSMC, HBM or packaging. And unless the AI hype dies off…

How would shrinking the processor size help if the current GPU generation is already completely bottlenecked by VRAM bandwidth saturation? We aren't seeing nearly the same gains on VRAM bandwidth as we are on compute bandwidth

As someone who has gone pretty deep in to robotics over the last 9 years I skipped right to the physical AI portion, and wasn't impressed. This has been stated on HN in most robotics threads, but the core of what they show, once again, is content generation, a feature largely looking for an application. The main application discussed is training data synthesis. While there is value in this for very specific use cases…

AMD barely mentioned their next-gen GPUs, NVIDIA came out swinging right from the start. AMD announced two new models which by their own cryptic slide wouldn't even compete with their current top-end. Then NVIDIA came and announced a 4090-performance GPU for $549... If that's not just hot hair from NVIDIA, I totally get the business decision from AMD but man, would love some more competition in the higher end.

4090 (no frame generation) performance with a $549 card (4x frame generation), isn’t it? In other words, the same performance at somewhere in the range of 2x-3.5x lighter workload. In other words, vastly different performance under same workload. It is veeery on the edge of false advertisement for them to omit the information in parentheses until later in the presentation. :) That line should have been “4090 frame ra…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

AMD has strategically decided to abandon the enthusiasts market [0]. Really sad that nvidia's monopoly has got solidified even further. That's one of the reasons I contribute to Apple's MLX instead of CUDA. 0: https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/amd-announces-new-ra...
