This article doesn’t talk about older gpus though? Its talking about using the V80 fpga from amd, which released in 2024 and costs 10k. Unless I’m misunderstanding something about the article? I do think its a good breakthrough being able to use an fpga like this though.
You’re right, the chip they leveraged isn’t actually that old. The key part is that we’re seeing a lot of optimizations happening in software space now that allows to use existing chips more efficiently.
