Saw this article for a personal AI supercomputer for $3000 that delivers 1 petaflop of performance. Compare this with the first machine to reach a petaflop in 2008. So in only 17 years we have gone from:
- $120,000,000
- 130,464 processor cores
- 103,000 GB ram
- 296 cabinets
- 2,345,000 watts power
- Retired 2013
to this (tiny beige box to left of monitor):
- $3,000
- ~20,000 cores (not known exactly)
- 128GB ram
- 1 tiny box
- 1,500 watts
In 17 years this is a:
- Cost reduction of 99.99%
- Core reduction of 84.67%
- Ram reduction of 99.88%
- Size reduction of 99.99%
- Power reduction of 99.93%
What do you think will happen in the next 2 decades?
