> Their point of comparison is between an NVIDIA Tesla V100 and a 44-core CPU.
Not quite. Further in the paper: "Similarly, for larger Amazon dataset, the red and black line never intersect, and the red and blue line intersects on 8 cores. This means that SLIDE beats Tensorflow-GPU with as few as 8 CPU cores and Tensorflow-CPU with as few as 2 CPU cores."
Yes, they have a beast machine, but it can outperform the GPU with only 8 cores in some cases.
