\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.
