Reddit argues GPUs will matter 10x more than CPUs, AMD/Intel must pivot
Terminator857 · reddit · 2026-08-19
A Reddit user argues that as AI takes over, GPUs will become 10x more important than CPUs, and AMD and Intel should become GPU companies. Architecturally this implies massive memory bandwidth needs — more memory channels, HBM, or in-memory compute. The author further suggests AMD/Intel could become memory companies to enable in-memory compute, while memory makers like Micron could leverage their profit boom to enter logic chips. Pure opinion discussion without hard data.
