I thought Nvidia's Tesla revenue was supposed to be big considering how much GPU compute is shilled, it's barely 15% of their total revenue.
What gives? They're basically the only GPGPU vendor at the moment because AMD's GPU division is busy sniffing cocaine.
GPGPU is a small part of the HPC(which itself is only 15-20% of the datacenter) market, and the part that deals with number crunching with minimal incoherent branching is where Tesla fits.
Everything else is done by CPUs.
tl;dr GPU - good for dumb and simple workloads
CPU - good for complex workloads
That's why Nvidia's stock took a hit not too long ago. Their growth was more dependent on gaming than some investors expected.
Research shows that current machine learning techniques are faster and more energy efficient with an ASIC than a GPGPU. That segment is only temporary for them.

Thing is ASICs aren't really modular and have a pretty large time to market.
GPUs are more flexible than FPGAs.
Nobody good at analyzing market pissitioning ?
