[cctalk] Re: Intel 8086 - 46 yrs. ago

I think the biggest change is our compute resources stopped going faster in terms of raw cycles per second, and started going wider in terms of parallelism. It's now commonplace for me to run workloads that can actually use many CPU cores, and I'm starting to occasionally run workloads that are so parallel, that a GPU is a more suitable resource. At the same time as the surge in parallelism, there's also a focus on going greener. I think the last couple years have been particularly transformative. Scott
