Image: the Pixar render farm in 1995. Half of an iPhone
- bigiain 8y agoHeh - one day I aspire to be burned by having John Carmack drop in on a comment thread of mine to point out I'm wrong: "I don't see any reason why an iPhone couldn't run renderman and render ToyStory." ;-)
- mark212 8y agotweet is from 2016 referencing the iPhone 6 with 2 billion transistors (Pixar had very roughly 1 billion total in its render farm). Current iPhone X: 4.3 billion transistors.[1] So two years later it's now more than 4x the Pixar compute that did "Toy Story." Amazing!
