At least one party in the conflict is generating enough interference on the ground to obstruct both GPS and GLONASS navigation in orbits passing over the region. Its loud enough to detect as soon as the region is visible (thousands of mi

Saturating arithmetic is probably not all that expensive, since its been in every ARM SIMD unit (and sometimes also scalar) for many years. You just pay a little bit in latency when using those instructions.

That's not my take-away from the chart, especially if you normalize by performance share. "Other" is the clear winner, and AMD has slightly more performance share than NVIDIA.
