    It’s diminishing returns.

    We need a giant leap forward to show a noticeable effect now.

    Like, if a cars top speed was 10mph, a 5 mph increase is fucking huge.

    But getting a supercar to top off at 255 instead of 250, just isn’t a huge deal. And you wouldn’t notice unless you were testing it.

    So even if they keep increasing power at a steady rate, the end user is going to notice it less and less everytime.

      Money is in the AI chips for datacenters, i think regular consumers will be more more only getting dinner’s leftovers

        I’m not entirely sure about AMD but NVIDIA certainly seems keen on the AI market to the point that they don’t really care about the consumer gaming market anymore.
