Graphic Cards - Graphic card market can growth with support of technologies like Deep Learning

In the context of the computer hardware market, a research firm in its 2017 Q1 report has estimated that GPU shipments decreased by 17.5 per cent seasonally as compared to Q4 of 2016. It has also asserted that the yearly trend also witnessed a 4.5-per cent decrease in desktop GPUs. Also, the dedicated graphics industry has observed the yearly decrease of 17.5 per cent. Apart from this decline, brands like AMD and NVIDIA have come out as market leaders. Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, South Asia, NVIDIA, says, “W are keenly focussed on fostering key partnerships with the ecosystem to accelerate the growth and adoption of GPU technology.”

Key Takeaways: A new generation of super-smart cars requires serious Artificial Intelligence. A newer technology “Deep Learning” is at the core of the development of autonomous cars.  A part of Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning allows computers to perform tasks for which they have not been specifically programmed. With the support of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), originally developed to power video games, Deep Learning is accelerated for real-world deployment. Large amounts of training data are fed through sophisticated algorithms to build Deep Neural Networks (DNN), which are complex mathematical models which mimic the human brain.                         

Key Vendors: NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm and others including Broadcom, Gigabyte
