What is a CPU '"G"
What is a CPU '"G"
The label might be showing a breakdown of performance metrics, where "8g" refers to additional processing power or threads beyond the main 4 cores.
8 processing units available. 4 dedicated CPUs and 8 graphics processors.
AMD GPUs have unique naming conventions compared to NVIDIA. For instance, a 1080 Ti features 3584 CUDA cores and 88 ROPs, whereas a Vega 64 has 64 Vega cores (64 ROPs) yet performs similarly. Similarly, the GT 1030 boasts 384 quad cores and 16 ROPs, but it falls short of the integrated graphics in Vega 11—just 11 ROPs and 11 Vega cores.
That matches what you expect, the r7 includes 512 cores and 8 ROPs.
Vega 64 features 64 compute units, with each unit containing 64 steam processors cores. This structure mirrors the naming conventions used by nVidia for CUDA cores. Vega 64 equals 64 compute units, and each CU holds 64 processors, resulting in 4096 stream processor cores. For Radeon R7 graphics, 8 compute units multiplied by 64 processors per unit gives 512 stream processor cores.
