I Built a Powerful Gaming PC Solely to Run AI Models. Here's Why This is the first serious cross-over PC I've come across, using AMD's new all-in-wonder pro chips, and I'm disappointed we don't have benchmarks for it. This is as expensive as it gets for your average a gaming rig, but significantly cheaper than their Threadripper chips. At any rate, it illustrates how home gaming rigs are steadily becoming powerful enough to create your own AI, which is roughly what you need to render realistic water waves, create your own VR video games, or whatever. You really want 64gb of ram for a setup like this, but the next generation ram will be so much faster, you can use less without slowing performance to a crawl. You could say, once a computer has this much compute capacity, it's all about how fast it can crunch enormous numbers, and there's a minimum amount of memory that you want, for crunching larger numbers all at once. However, the real problem is, memory chips are way slower than processors, and by simply making them dramatically faster, you could possibly make AMD's new chip work 4x faster. The last twenty years of PC development has driven everyone insane, especially reviewers, because everyone has had to settle for the same incremental improvements, using the same damn transistors and memory, and they've all been dying for the next generation hardware to dramatically drive down prices. With China making a hostile take-over bid for the entire world auto and electronics markets, things could get very interesting, and dirt cheap, real fast. There's no reason to use a video card for creating an AI, except they're the cheapest alternative for most people, but their cost keeps going up, while analog chips keep catching up.
