Is there any practical difference for applications whether GPU is outside or on the CPU chip? Any major difference in drivers?
- pjmlp 8y agoLots of them, because it affects how data flows between CPU and GPU. For example, dedicated GPUs usually can't make use of shared memory. On the other hand, shared memory has slower access rate, meaning integrated GPU with it cannot be as faster. This is just one difference, there are others.
