In just six years


Nvidia's
CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has claimed that GPU computing will dramatically increase over the next six years.

He thinks that it will get 570 times faster while CPU performance will only increase a staggering 3x in the same timeframe. Speaking to the Hot Chips symposium in Stanford University, Huang said that the advancement would open the door to advanced forms of augmented reality and the development of real-time universal language translation devices.

Huang predicted that advancements in GPU computation would also boost a number of applications such as interactive ray tracing, CGI simulations, energy exploration, and other "real-world" applications. We don't know where he got all this stuff from or what was going create this huge burst in technology. However if Huang says it, it must be true.
