Move Over Moore’s Law, Make Way for Huang’s Law:
"An exuberant Jensen Huang, who gave a keynote and popped up on stage during
various events at Nvidia’s 2018 GPU Technology Conference (GTC) held in San Jose,
Calif. last week, repeatedly made the point that due to extreme advances in
technology, graphics processing units (GPUs) are governed by a law of their own.
“There’s a new law going on,” he says, “a supercharged law.”
Huang, who is CEO of Nvidia, didn’t call it Huang’s Law; I’m guessing he’ll leave that
to others. After all, Gordon Moore wasn’t the one who gave Moore’s Law its now-
famous moniker. (Moore’s Law—Moore himself called it an observation—refers to the
regular doubling of the number of components per integrated circuit that drove a
dramatic reduction in the cost of computing power.)
But Huang did make sure nobody attending GTC missed the memo.
Just how fast does GPU technology advance? In his keynote address, Huang pointed
out that Nvidia’s GPUs today are 25 times faster than five years ago. If they were
advancing according to Moore’s law, he said, they only would have increased their
speed by a factor of 10."
