sooner or later they'll give up and make computers where the gpu is the main board and the rest of the machine is on the pci slot

@PetraOleum A while back it hit me that GPUs actually are basically just a second computer with a different architecture being subset inside the main computer. They have their own power handling, primary processor, controllers, RAM, and even a firmware.

Many of us have GPUs that use more power than the whole rest of the computer...

As a sidenote, it's kind of maddening that they were allowed to make stuff like that firmware so completely locked down and proprietary that people can't even lower things.

@lmorchard @PetraOleum Intel made NUCs that were PCIe formfactor called nuc elements, really interesting direction.
