Группа выше: Вычисления на GPU и графические стандарты
Смысл: The main idea is that modular VRAM is impractical due to the extreme bandwidth and cooling requirements of modern GPUs, as well as the economic incentives of hardware manufacturers to sell new products rather than facilitate upgrades.
Modular VRAM is technically infeasible due to latency and thermal constraints and economically undesirable for manufacturers.
Смысл: The text discusses Palmer Luckey's refusal to support Mac for Oculus VR due to Apple's lack of powerful gaming-grade GPUs, arguing that the hardware is simply not built for the demands of VR.
Palmer Luckey states Oculus won't support Mac until Apple produces computers with GPUs powerful enough for VR requirements.
Смысл: The text analyzes the evolution of graphics cards, arguing that the growth in physical size and power consumption is driven by relentless market demand for performance. The author concludes that we have reached a physical limit for air cooling and that future gains will likely be offset by increasing prices and stable power envelopes.
GPU physical size and power consumption have grown to meet market demands, reaching a thermal ceiling that suggests future performance gains will come from architecture rather than raw power increases.
