- By 2030, sophisticated technology will enable 1000-times faster computations than the Mixtral model, according to Charles Hoskinson.
- The integration of Cardano’s ADA into Call of Duty shows a growing trend of cryptocurrencies with popular gaming brands.
The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, has predicted a technological leap in which sophisticated algorithms combined with new hardware will allow computations to be performed 1,000 times faster than they are now, even exceeding the efficiency of Mixtral, a cutting-edge language model.
According to Hoskinson, this revolutionary expansion of computational power will become a reality by 2030, completely altering the capabilities of conventional gaming PCs.
Here's my prediction, by 2030 we will be able to run a model 1000x more power than Mixtral on a gaming PC due to specialized hardware and model optimization

Efficiency of AI and Evolution of Gaming Graphics
Kurt, a Sydney-based computer enthusiast, also emphasized the quick developments in artificial intelligence (AI), especially with regard to creating visuals.
Kurt observes firsthand the ongoing developments in picture creation technology using a standard Nvidia RTX GeForce 2080ti graphics card, highlighting a pattern where hardware advancements drive technological advancements.
I agree – the AI bubble won't be with AI software; it will be with the hardware. These models are already becoming so efficient. Just look at image generation in the last 24 months. It is continuously getting better, and I am still running the exact same 2080ti, and it's only…

This discovery aligns with Hoskinson’s prediction, pointing to an impending change wherein software advancements may lose ground to hardware advancements.
After that, the conversation turned to gaming, and one of the Cardano enthusiasts brought up the interesting idea of integrating ADA—Cardano’s native cryptocurrency—into popular gaming ecosystems like Call of Duty.
Crypto Gaming Dilemma
That concept is part of a larger effort by the crypto community to include virtual currencies as in-game money in popular games like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. The excitement surrounding the potential integration of digital currencies with games is evident amidst conjectural claims that Grand Theft Auto VI may feature a cryptocurrency reward system.
Of course, there are also significant obstacles to the confluence of cryptocurrencies and gaming. A CoinGecko analysis from November 2023 showed an alarming trend in the Web3 GameFi industry, demonstrating that an incredible 75.5% of new games have failed over the previous five years.
These flaws, which stem mostly from an overemphasis on revenue at the expense of captivating gameplay and graphics, draw attention to the precarious balance that exists in the crypto-gaming industry between innovation and entertainment.
Not only that, Hoskinson also talked about his efforts to bring Legends of Valour, a beloved game from his youth, back to life.
Retro gaming and blockchain-enhanced gaming are combined in his attempt to remaster the game with modern gameplay and study how the Cardano blockchain could be used for NFT features.
ADA’s Market Recovery
In the midst of these disclosures, a tweet from famous cryptocurrency analyst Trend Rider has captured the attention of the community.
🔥 $ADA's Market Shift: From Bearish to Bullish Trends
Observing the 2-week chart, key moving averages are realigning, marking a transition towards a bullish framework as indicators switch from red to green.

A review of ADA’s 2-week chart by Trend Rider indicates that there may be a change in market sentiment from pessimistic to bullish, similar to the patterns seen before big rallies.
Based on historical trends, specifically ADA’s April 2021 bull run, a hypothetical 2000% price increase may push Cardano’s native coin above $1 and even as high as $12.6.
On the other hand, Cardano (ADA) leads in developer activity, outshining Ethereum (ETH) in the number of contributions and updates to its platform, as previously reported by ETHNews.
At press time, the price of ADA had risen 4.76% in the last 24 hours, to $0.6357. But, this represents a decrease of 19.50% over the past 7 days.
