Do you remember when it used to be cool to have 4 slim GPUs in one PC?
Now, you have 4 GPUs packed into one fat box instead.
Remember, when this video was a joke?

We're gonna need a bigger case... RTX 4090 size comparison

I've been starting to thing about the whole external GPU thing. Maybe instead of a fad for laptops, maybe more work should be done on the interface and make it a legitimate standard. I think we've reached the point where it would save us space for desktops.

APUs have their place, but they'll never replace dedicated GPUs as the top speck gaming machine, ever. You'd probably need dies even larger than a Threadripper to squeeze in the die a CPU and an integrated GPU powerful enough to tackle a nvidia card, but then you simply wouldn't have the cooling hardware to deal with it.

Maybe there's some architecture paradigm that needs changing in the GPU space too, like how ARM can be so much more efficient than x86, maybe there's something obvious the GPU space is missing too.
I do agree though, the "progress" nvidia has done these last 2 generations is stupid.
