Sure, and cpus supporting it will proliferate. Shockingly to no one reading hacker news... Both software and hardware continue to improve with time generally speaking. This was a huge software improvement on hardware that supports that functionality. It is a huge win for anyone wanting to use these algorithms where they can afford hardware that supports it.

We should celebrate Amazon's improvements and we should celebrate these improvements. Both are great for the future of technology, regardless of why they were initially developed. Improving tech and keeping it open source is good for all.
