Cost per GFLOPS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS#Hardware_costs

Probably the clearest chart that explains why machine learning is blowing up now, despite the fact that the same neural network architectures existed since 1990s (e.g., LeNet-5).

It's because cost dropped from $47,000 per GFLOPS to $0.02!!!
