Ain't that the truth.
However: Xilinx's DSP58 blocks (Versal devices), and older Intel DSPs, do integrate floating point into the DSP tiles - which does narrow the gap between the datasheet's DSP count and the number of floating-point operations achievable per clock.
- mathisfun123 3y ago> Xilinx's DSP58 blocks (Versal devices) this is correct (i am currently working on designs that target these parts) but those things are more expensive than comparably sized/equipped nvidia gpus so (in the context of this discussion) it's moot.

- mathisfun123 3y agoYes but as you can see by reading, this comment chain starts with someone linking to a xilinx product
