Does anyone have more information or insight into about Apple’s GPU design? The Apple A12 chip has 4 GPU cores vs. 3 cores in the A11, but GPUs from Nvidia have orders of magitude more (3584 CUDA cores for the GTX 1080 Ti, each of which can run 2048 threads). How do these numbers compare?
- gbear605 8y agoNotably, you’re comparing the gpu inside an iPhone to a gpu that is more than twice as big as the entire iPhone. Unfortunately, I’m not sure about how the actual numbers measure up though.
- singularity2001 8y agoThe Bionic chip does 5 trillion operations per second. That's about the same as a NVidia GFX 970. Truely impressive!
- brigade 8y agoNVIDIA labels each SIMD lane as a core, which is basically the same thing as claiming that Intel makes a 896-core CPU. Anyway, no matter how you define a "core", GPU core counts don't matter except when comparing different SKUs of the same µarch.
