Q: is there any benefit from mentioning non-traditional industrial applications for GPUs? (a) calculating prime numbers for use in factoring (b) Bitcoin mining (c) other -- Howard from NYC ( talk) 16:01, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Why do so many tech articles end up being about the companies that develop the tech, rather than the tech itself?
I think most people come to this page to learn about GPUs. I'd like to see a simple example of how they take an input, process an algorithm in parallel and produce an output that can be displayed on a screen.
Perhaps the article contains this, but if so it's buried in hundreds of lines of historical references and lots of "who did what first" for companies like Sony, Toshiba, Nvidia, ATI, Midway, Taito, Namco, Centuri, Gremlin, Irem, Konami, Midway, Nichibutsu, Sega and more.
One could write a bot to write these articles and program it with a few basic patterns, e.g. X1 built a Y1 that had Z1. Then X2 built a derivative called Y2 that had Z2. Meanwhile X3 build a totally different Y3 that had Z3. Ultimately X2 acquired both X1 and X3. It's kind of silly.

Nice, maybe add a little bit more about SGI, their GPUs and OpenGL. 2A04:4540:6A28:CF00:5DA9:C4D3:C033:13C3 ( talk) 15:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
The part about GPT and Chat-GPT seems out of place with standard Wikipedia intros. It should probably instead link to AI/ML in general and the LLMs page instead of a specific LLM. Didn't want to straight remove it as wanted opinions but it seems very off to me Greenking2000 ( talk) 09:47, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Read this article and it seems like an interesting note regarding how GPUs have been optimizing image processing.
