Didn't that tech shifted to AI/ML? Isn't that considered scientific computing by some measure?

I'm definitely not an expert so I'm maybe missing something here.

"Scientific Computing" was probably too general of a term to use. I focus more on FEA/CFD type problems where it's effectively been a bust. Most of our benchmarks show 8 cpu cores + 1 GPU is roughly equivalent to 10 cpu cores, and a second GPU has little additional benefit.

I'm sure there are other disciplines that have seen a larger benefit.
