But not 38 TOPS that Apple claims, with the weak explanation of
reply> Apple’s “38 TOPS INT8” is computed as 19 TFLOPS FP16 × 2, following the industry convention of counting INT8 operations as 2× the FP16 rate. But the hardware doesn’t actually execute INT8 operations twice as fast.
Why would Apple follow that convention when the hardware explicitly doesn't seems like a more straight-faced lie that I expect from Apple
You assume the marketing folks actually talk with the hardware folks. More likely its a big game of telephone....
replyYou're off by a factor of a trillion. It's 6.6 TFLOPS/W.
