In safety-critical, long-lifecycle systems = obsolescence is the real bottleneck. Adaptive architectures (FPGAs, SoCs, stable CPUs) = keep innovation alive after deployment.

GPU has this disadvantage.

Metric:

Most benchmarks = Performance per Watt (instant efficiency).Critical domains = Performance per Lifecycle (20+ yrs).

Why Lifecycle Performance Matters?

Long Standards Cycles = 20+ yrsHigh Risk = Recall cost millions, downtime catastrophic, cannot refresh hardware but innovation must continuePlatf...
