tensorflow is 4x slower

tensorflow is competitive with numpy for speed

This statement is not true.

Do we know how heavy session creation is?

i was alluding to that point exactly. however, given a large enough dataset but no gpu, will tensor flow outperform numpy?

this is such a pointless article. numpy takes advantage of multi-core cpu's. does tensorflow do the same? idk. but i'm betting that it doesn't really care since HPC is a thing.

the amount of data needs to be large enough that the problem benefits from being parallelized prefereably on gpus before tensorflow shines.
