From Peter Zeihan: PC or console? Yes, I’m talking about gaming preferences…and if you answered PC, then we all owe you a big thank you. Today’s episode is all about the geopolitics of gaming (specifically, the advancements its caused in computing capabilities).
If the terms ping or lag mean anything to you, then you have likely experienced the frustration that has plagued gamers for ages. That very frustration is what helped to advance processing power and high performance chips (GPUs, aka graphics processing units) when most others’ computer needs were satiated. Since gamers needed top-tier graphics and a very responsive system, GPUs were developed to handle multiple processes simultaneously. And guess what those chips were also pretty damn good at? Running AI models.
Without those gamers pushing the boundaries and driving technological progress in this sphere, we would be at a loss for how to handle the AI buildout. Which require being able to handle massive amounts of data simultaneously. So, a tip of the hat and raise of the glass to all the nerds out there.
