The evolution of computing power of CPU and GPU
Although Intel predicted 10 GHz processors ten years ago by 2011 , the reality was completely different. Who could have guessed that the main computing power would no longer be on the CPU, but on the GPUs. Here's what the growth graph of the number of floating point operations (FLOPs) on the CPU and GPU over the past ten years looks like .
The same graph on a logarithmic scale.
It is clear that due to the narrow specialization, the graphics processor can give almost all its performance to arithmetic operations, while the CPU architecture is much more complicated.
The clock speed of Intel processors froze around 3.4 GHz.
True, the overall performance of the chips continues to grow due to an increase in the number of cores.
