In recent years GPU development that was originally funded by the gaming market (and ended up being used as a supercomputer accelerator) has been dominated by use in the AI/ML accelerator market. Startups like SiPearl and Esperanto are bringing custom chips to market without raising hundreds of millions of dollars.

Google's Search App and Facebook's various apps for Android undermine these choices in slightly different ways.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. One subtle effect of browser attempts to avoid showing users blank white screens is that optimisations meant to hide latency from users may cause misattribution by users in cross-site flows.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. IETF’s QUIC is technically very different from Google’s QUIC.
