That's a terrible name for that and I can't say that Hanlon's razor applies. Bubble that everyone's knowingly referring to is the stock market collapsing like in 2001. To choose a headline that can be mistaken for that just to get clicks is shit. You could've called it GPU-CPU pipeline stall, but no, you intentionally chose a name that would be confused for something else just to get clicks?

This is what people in the field call it. I'm sorry you're offended.
You. You are people in the field. You can choose to name it anything else in the article that you just wrote. "We call it the GPU-CPU pipeline stall, but others might call it the GPU bubble."
The term is much older than the current GPU craze though. Ypu're trying to regulate how experts in a field communicate, which is... Weird.
I'm trying to effect cultural change. People who do that are gonna be considered "weird". That's what that word means.
Yeah the title is obviously clickbait.
Yeah, it works though, and the content is genuine enough which I guess trumps the issue with the title for me ;)
