It's almost surely based on half-precision floats. Apple claims the A12X to be twice as fast graphically as the A10X, which was slower than the 820 and 821 Snapdragons on graphic benchmarks. In turn, we know those two are rated at about 410 - 520 single precision GFLOPS. Besides, if that were wrong and it were indeed FP32, Apple wouldn't pass the chance of claiming it was faster than the PS4 using FP16 as well, they surely love their marketing claims, after all. I've read somewhere that FP16 is sort of enough for mobile, but you probably know better if that claim holds water or not. |
Dude, the old ipad pro have about 3x the gpu performance compared to snapdragon 820/821. In GFXbench aztec ruins benchmark
Snapdragon 820/821 gets 6.1 fps on aztec ruins high settings and 16.8 fps on normal
Ipad pro (2017 model): 18 fps on high and 47.8 fps on normal.
Both tests are on offscreen so resolution is 1080p on both devices.
Now you say that this new ipad pro model is twice as fast as the old one putting it about 6x of snapdragon 820/821 and you say this device has 410-520 gigaflops, so you are saying this new ipad pro has 2460-3120 gigaflops (6x410 and 6x520).
LOL
Where you got source that snapdragon calculates in fp32? From what I know it's fp16 but I can't find source on either.
