nvidia fever
Nvidia fever is here. Why the chipmaker is the world's hottest stock.
Around 2014, researchers working on AI realized that GPUs worked better for training AI than other chips. While the more-common computer processing units, or CPUs, are optimized to handle a small number of highly complicated tasks, GPUs are better at doing the math for many simple calculations at the same time. Because training AI requires making many connections between billions of different words or images, GPUs worked well. Many of the major AI breakthroughs that helped set the foundation for the large language models at the center of today's AI revolution were made by running AI algorithms on Nvidia GPUs.
