gollark: It seems like AMD could have done a much better job than they did, though.
gollark: DRAM is what regular RAM sticks use: it uses a lot of capacitors to store data, which is cheap but high-latency to do anything with, and requires refreshing constantly. SRAM is just a bunch of transistors arranged to store data: it is very fast and low-power, but expensive because you need much more room for all the transistors.
gollark: They say they have 200 MB of SRAM on each (16nm) chip. That sounds hilariously expensive.
gollark: It's cool that they have a Vulkan-based version instead of just supporting CUDA only.
gollark: Swap on TPU *when*?
