Linus
创立并主持著名YouTube频道《林纳斯技术提示》,在技术领域具有重大影响。
Topics
Linus: Computex 2023期间,LTT几乎没有报道PC游戏硬件新闻,这并非偶然,而是因为真正的创新发生在数据中心和移动领域。数据中心技术,例如AI加速器和PCIe Gen 5,目前对消费者来说益处不大,并且不太可能很快惠及游戏玩家。虽然有一些面向游戏玩家的创新,例如华硕的无线GPU供电概念,但这些创新并非游戏领域的重大突破。英特尔、AMD和英伟达都没有推出面向消费级台式机的产品,这在Computex上是罕见的现象。 Linus认为,PC游戏硬件爱好者正面临困境,因为令人兴奋的创新主要发生在数据中心领域,而这些技术不太可能以有意义的方式惠及游戏玩家。过去,数据中心的创新会逐渐惠及游戏玩家,例如多核处理器的普及和性能功耗比的提升。但现在,创新主要集中在加速器上,例如AI加速器和视频编码加速器,这些技术对游戏玩家的益处尚不明确。 Linus还对PCIe Gen 5和高速存储技术表示质疑,认为这些技术对游戏玩家的益处微乎其微。他认为,未来数据中心技术可能以意想不到的方式惠及消费者,例如改进的Direct Storage技术和更快的游戏加载速度。 Linus还讨论了NVIDIA市值突破万亿美元,但这并非依靠游戏GPU实现,而是得益于对AI处理器的巨大需求。他认为,NVIDIA应该剥离GeForce业务,因为GeForce业务的利润率较低,而数据中心业务的利润率较高。他认为,GeForce团队受到公司股东对盈利能力的期望的限制,无法充分发挥其在游戏领域的创新潜力。 Linus还回顾了英特尔、AMD和英伟达在缺乏竞争时的行为,指出它们往往会停止更新产品并提高价格。他认为,竞争对于行业发展至关重要。 Luke: Luke在讨论中补充了Linus的观点,并分享了他对游戏行业趋势的看法,例如AI在游戏中的应用以及对游戏开发的影响。他与Linus一起分析了当前游戏硬件市场竞争格局,并对未来游戏硬件发展方向进行了预测。
