Phoronix: Intel Uses Its SIGGRAPH "CREATE" Event To Talk Up More Software Advancements

Intel's "CREATE" event is ongoing right now at SIGGRAPH 2019 where they are using it to repeat their goal of seeing a "1,000x advancement in performance" over the years ahead...

At least, their software is advancing...

1,000x advancement in performance

This will be interesting. You can get about an order of magnitude by going from CPU to GPU, for amenable problems.

Then another one, by going from general-purpose GPU to specialized engines like tensor cores.

I guess the final order of magnitude is to come from successive process improvements?

Did they say over what timescale? I hope they mean within the same power envelope!

1,000x advancement in performance" over the years ahead...

Oh no! That means 3rd party programs are going to get 1,000x less efficient over the years ahead
