Significant NLP for UI purposes could push hardware.
2 comments

Agreed. There are a host of other potential applications that could push hardware as well.

And, I do believe that if one were to have mass market appeal (i.e. broad utility and demand), then we may see increased PC demand again (provided the PC is the appropriate platform).

But, do you think that there are a significant number of such applications waiting in the wings for PC hardware advances, or do you believe that perhaps no such applications are ready for prime-time as of now?

Eventually yes. However in the near-term I see almost all NLP advances being implemented on the cloud.
