- falcor84 2y agoHere's my reasoning of what an APU is based on letter indices: if A is 1, C is 3 and G is 7, then to get an APU, you need to do what it takes to go from GPU to a CPU, and then apply an extra 50% effort.

- layer8 2y agoIt’s an established term (originally by AMD) for a combination of CPU and GPU on a single die. In other words, it’s a CPU with integrated accelerated graphics (iGPU). APU stands for Accelerated Processing Unit. Nvidia’s Grace Hopper isn’t quite that (it’s primarily a GPU with a bit of CPU sprinkled in), hence “halfway” I guess.
