I didn't have the patience to watch them all.
One thing that I found fascinating is that they plan to use the same 
risc-v core as a shader and that at this point, for machine learning, 
they think it is better to change algorithms on a common ISA than adding 
optimization in hardware (but still the cpu will support extensions).
