The ultimate “you’re doing it wrong”.

For he sake of the climate and environment it would be nice to be true.

Bad news for Nvidia. “Sell your stock” bad.

Does it come with a demonstration?

Bad news for Nvidia how? Even ignoring that the power savings are only on one type of instruction, 20x less power doesn't mean it runs 20x faster. You still need big fat GPUs.

If this increases integer demand and decreases floating point demand, that moderately changes future product design and doesn't do much else.
