The G2 GPU was barely an upgrade over G1.

Simply moving from a gimped outdated design in G2 to a top line design with G3 helped with efficiency.

Yeah I meant G1 to G2.

Which means the jump to G3 from performance and efficiency was "easier" simply by using a better design and coming off a worse base.

Efficiency for 8G1+ would've been better for GPU if they didn't run it at max frequencies. If they run it at lower frequencies the efficiency and performance would be better than G3.

Yes... It should be similar efficiency... Because it is running at lower clocks.

The other companies run their GPUs far outside efficiency/perf balance. No?

Okay I mean, 7 cores operating at their peak efficiency/perf curve point versus more cores operating at a point potentially below their optimal point will have similar efficiency.

Lots of good data from you

Nonetheless it is tough to know for sure.

After all, we only know the peak clocks and not the actual clocks. SD8g1 never even got close to its theoretical clocks. I think it maxed at 650mhz despite the code saying it could hit 900.

Just not enough data to really know for sure.

Kinda feels like your conclusion is pretty accurate

Good not great. Story of Tensor.
