I'm not understanding your comment correctly, is it sarcastic? Nvidia doesn't ship a TPU on the Titan V. Also, 0.6 TFLOPS/$1000 vs 36.7 TFLOPS/$1000 is nearly a 2 orders of magnitude difference favoring Nvidia.
- hyperpallium 9y agoIt's not sarcastic. It's not contrasting the two, but pointing out a general shift towards NPU/TPU (as the comment states). Of course a mobile device isn't going to have the same power ratio as a Titan V (It's amazing that the iphone X has 500GF, in addition to its GPU and CPU. I expect it will go much higher; this is just an initial foray). I don't understand the objection to describing the tensor cores of the Titan V as a TPU. As a GPU, it has only around 10TF. How would you describe the tensor cores?
- shaklee3 9y agoPerhaps a more apt comparison is to the Tegra processor, and still, Nvidia crushes apple in performance/Watt.
- hyperpallium 9y agoI wasn't comparing them, but pointing out a trend common to both.
