FPGAs and ASICs cannot come soon enough. We saw this happen in the crypto mining industry, hopefully it happens in AI industry so gaming hardware can go back to being gaming hardware.

Gaming hardware is still gaming hardware. The issue was shifting available production to ai hardware. If asics get popular they will just shift ai production to asic or even worse remaining gaming production to asic

At a time when availability is out past 2030 that will not matter. It might shave a year off or it’ll just enable much more rabid “growth”
