\subsection{The Future}
``The IT industry is, above all, an industry''. This is very much true and trends and developments are driven by demand and market.
For hardware, the investment is very high for new developments and only pay off at large sale volumes.
Hardware moves slowly, software even slower.

Furthermore, the number of foundries has gone down significantly since 2002 (130nm architecture),
where today, there are only three bleeding edge foundries left, of which one has over 50\% market share in bleeding edge semiconductor manufacturing, TSMC.
Samsung and Intel both have lost out on major deals due to a number of issues (Nvidia Ampere was the last major GPU series manufactured by Samsung).

CPUs are low latency (very fast), but low throughput in terms of parallelism, whereas GPUs are the exact opposite.
