| We could call the consumer ones GFX cards, and keep GPU for the matrix multiplying ones. |

| GPU stands for "graphics processing unit" so I'm not sure how your suggestion solves it. Maybe renaming the device to an MPU, where the M stands for "matrix/math/mips" would make it more semantically correct? |

| ▲ | rpdillon 8 days ago | parent | next [-] | | This doesn't seem to be true at all. It's a highly specialized chip for doing highly parallel operations. There's nothing general about it. I looked around briefly and could find no evidence that it's been renamed. Do you have a source? | |
