The Power of Huang's Law: Engineers Fueling Chip Speedup
NVIDIA's "Huang's Law" has been the driving force behind the company's 1000x chip speedup in less than a decade, surpassing the limitations of Moore's Law. While chip shrinking only accounted for a 2.5x performance gain, NVIDIA's focus on innovation within individual "stacks" and the introduction of architectures like Hopper and Ampere, along with technologies like NVLINK, led to the significant performance increase. NVIDIA's Chief Scientist, Bill Dally, emphasizes that the future of the company depends on Huang's Law and the industry's approach to chip and computing development.
