I told you! :)
CPUs keep throwing specialised hardware into the garbage bag every time few years after mass adoption of something big, as the computer science improves.
People were once telling that real time audio was physically impossible to do on the CPU, now you can do it even on a smartphone CPU.
- monocasa 5y agoSome of that is figuring out the software overhead too. Alexia Massalin was doing audio DSP on her 68k workstation back in the late 80s with her Synthesis kernel. Overall it seems that multiplexing with the right semantics is a majority of the problem to running new workloads on GPCPUs and takes time to understand.
- hrydgard 5y agoCPUs haven't replaced GPUs for graphics though, and are very far away from doing it...
- Cymen 5y agoIt does depend on what you mean by CPUs but the Ryzen G 5000 series are able to play video games at 720p (sometimes 1080p) with the graphics integrated on the CPU.
- sydthrowaway 5y agoErr, isnt that GPU on the same die? That’s the same as Apple Silicon. No one does software rendering do they?
- terafo 5y agoG 5000 series is marginally worse than 5000 series in CPU performance and it is worse than any discrete GPU that was released in last 5 years if we are talking GPU performance.
