The significant contrast between "CPU and GPU differences determines the upper limit of ZK"



Have you ever thought about:
Why is Nvidia's market value so much higher than Intel's?
Why are GPUs the core weapon in the AI era, rather than the CPUs we are familiar with?

This actually explains why ZK needs hardware accelerators like Cysic.

Analogy Time:

🔍 Analogy 1: CPU vs GPU, just like single-threaded and multi-threaded
•CPU is a general-purpose player, capable of doing anything, but slow; it’s like a professor proficient in multiple subjects, able to tutor only one student at a time.
•GPU is a parallel processing expert that can compute thousands of threads simultaneously, just like a group of coaches training a large group of students in boxing.

What is ZK Proving?

The "proof generation" process of ZK is like solving a bunch of complex math problems.
These problems have high repetition and are computation-intensive, making them very suitable for parallel acceleration using GPUs or ASICs.

⚙️ Why is @cysic_xyz key?

What Cysic is doing is:
•✅ Design dedicated hardware architecture for ZK, which is much faster than general-purpose GPUs;
•✅ Full-stack self-research from the underlying chips to the software compiler, without relying on third parties;
•✅ Break the performance ceiling directly from the physical layer, instead of optimizing with software.

If ZK is the security engine of the future blockchain,
So Cysic is like adding a turbocharger to it instead of using a toothpick to stir the engine for "software optimization."

In one sentence:

ZK is a compute-intensive task that can only unleash its full potential with dedicated hardware.
Just as AI has Nvidia, ZK also needs its own "graphics card," which is Cysic.
