Blockchain is a technology that has the potential to enable everyone to own much of the digital content and services they create.... Intel Presents Roadmap of Energy-efficient Blockchain Accelerators
"We are mindful that some blockchains require an enormous amount of computing power, which unfortunately translates to an immense amount of energy." If you were mindful you wouldn't even make a product for crypto and let it die out. All this results in is even bigger mining farms with the same if not more CO2 emission. Every company is so ****ing blinded by money these days, they don't give a f*** about CO2 emissions.
When i read this, my blood boils. The blockchain, as any other technology where you can write data, from the notepad to a complex db, has the potential to store information about who owns what. That starts to make sense, as long as institutions gives validity to that information. As of now you know a secret passphrase to a record called wallet, and the blockchains can confirm that some piece of informations belong to that wallet. As soon as someone else know the passphrase your ownership ends. I can't even imagine why intel would start a PR with this sentence.
As I understand it, this could solve the GPU shortage, by offering a chip able to calculate hashes and mine cryptos in layman's terms. Well beyond current limits, as far as 1.000 times faster. Well, I what are you waiting for Intel? Save us from GPU shortage and cash out the mining craze!
I not sure what to think of this. double edged sword? The kind that think it not a problem for us so let our future generation deal with when it is, kind like how thing work for past 50+ years? usual how thing get handed. but hey that is just imo
Few people actually give a flying f**k about CO2 emissions, and rightfully so. Intel should be encouraged to produce hardware that lessens the demand for gfx card use in crypto mining.
