Can you give an example? FunFan just gave one that seems to prove otherwise.

Sorry, what? Are we looking at the same picture? Because that image is Imagination Technologies showcase for their PowerVR GPUs that is showing superiority of FP32 over FP16 and degradation in image quality that latter produces. Just like this picture as well:

Anyway, FP16 has its place in mobile industry, but some people are having unrealistic expectations thinking that gains are 2x. IIRC, boosts from using FP16 code in real games are very modest, since most of the work is still done in FP32.

But as I said, I'm no expert on subject, best place for discussions like this is probably Beyond3D and there are threads out there dealing with this matter.

Are these the same number of flops for both images? As in say 1TF of in FP16 vs 1TF in FP32?

The fact it's listed simply as 'competing multicore GPU' and not anything else specfic comes across dubious.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
