Zeaus GPU Beats Nvidia's RTX 5090 by 10 Times in Certain Workloads
Bolt Graphics' Zeus GPU platform has been shown to outperform Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 in path tracing workloads, with a performance increase of around 10 times. However, the RTX 5090 excels in AI workloads due to its superior FP16 TFLOPS and INT8 TFLOPS capabilities. The Zeus GPU relies on the open-source RISC-V ISA and features a multi-chiplet design, which allows for greater memory size and improved performance in path tracing and compute workloads.
- This significant advantage of Zeus over Nvidia's RTX 5090 highlights the potential benefits of adopting open-source architectures in high-performance computing applications.
- What implications might this have on the development of future GPUs and their reliance on proprietary instruction set architectures, particularly in areas like AI research?
