Δεν έχω κανένα λόγο να υπερασπιστώ μια εταιρία στην οποία δεν έχω μετοχές και δεν είμαι καν gamer.
Αλλά κουβέντα να γίνεται.
Ο φίλος σου δεν είναι ενημερωμένος. Δεν τον αδικώ αφού οι εξελίξεις στον συγκεκριμένο τομέα είναι πολύ πρόσφατες.

Nvidia GPUs are used in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and accelerated analytics. The company developed GPU-based deep learning in order to use artificial intelligence to approach problems like cancer detection, weather prediction, and self-driving vehicles.[80] They are included in all Tesla vehicles.[81] The purpose is to help networks learn to “think”.[82] According to TechRepublic, Nvidia GPUs "work well for deep learning tasks because they are designed for parallel computing and do well to handle the vector and matrix operations that are prevalent in deep learning".[83] These GPUs are used by researchers, laboratories, tech companies and enterprise companies.[84] In 2009, Nvidia was involved in what was called the "big bang" of deep learning, "as deep-learning neural networks were combined with Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs)".[85] That year, the Google Brain used Nvidia GPUs to create Deep Neural Networks capable of machine learning, where Andrew Ng determined that GPUs could increase the speed of deep-learning systems by about 100 times.
Υπάρχει μια παρεξήγηση στο θέμα των gpu να θεωρούνται εργαλεία των gamers.
Στην πραγματικότητα gpu μπορούν να έχουν τα πάντα, από κινητά τηλέφωνα μέχρι ψυγεία.
Πιστεύω ότι στα επόμενα χρόνια θα μας απασχολήσει περισσότερο το θέμα "deep learning" ακόμα και στην Ελλάδα.
