What kind of battery life are they expecting on a 300-400 GFlops portable? 1-5 minutes. Battery tech and chips have improved but by that much? Got the flops from here http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/ Could be wrong. Everyone is wrong. |
It's a good question.
I'm guessing they have been able to with a die shrink to 16nm and architectural improvements from Pascal to create a chip that gives them roughly 50 GFLOPS per watt.
Given a larger tablet form factor to dissipiate heat, lets say 8 watts for your chip (that's 400 GFLOPS) and then 1.5 watts for screen + WiFi in portable situations.
You would need a large 40 wH battery to power that, but a 10,000 MaH battery gives you right about 3 1/2-4 hours of battery life.
It's doable. It would just have to be the size of the Wii U tablet pad, this would not be a pocket sized device, no way.
