Nvidia's new graphics cards are a big deal
There is a lot of applications beyond crypto that depend on an integer performance. Even in graphics, not just scientific/engineering compute.

sure, but if you're not integer performance bound, which most graphics work won't be, it doesn't usually matter.

Yet, a lot of stuff beyond crypto depends solely on an integer performance + memory bandwidth. Graphics included. 2D image processing is better done in integer or a fixed point.

HPC included. A whole lot of simulations fits well into a fixed point.
