> There are two groups of people who want TFlops of SIMD compute. Supercomputer groups, and video gamers.

And crypto people, unfortunately :(

Eh, Eth miners want memory bandwidth, which is increasingly no longer correlated to compute power.

Depends on Proof-Of-Work method.

I mean, it’s also true that not all supercomputer groups want TFLOPS of SIMD. Some video gamers are happy with consoles made in the 1990s. Why single out the crypto people?

90s console very much also had SIMD it was just in more fixed function hardware, DSPs or the like.
