Geekbench did some testing a month ago, and came up with 'comparable to a gtx 660.'
Yeah that's mentioned in the article, hopefully the new run is representative of an overall improved software situation and they're not specifically targeting geekbench results.
But then I guess even if they are targeting geekbench then this run is representative of the performance of the GPU if they're able to optimize for specific games anyways.
Huawei had Ascend gpus for a while, so I would not call this the first.
Aren't those AI chips, as opposed to gaming GPUs?
There isn't a real difference between AI and Gaming. For example 3090 is supposedly a gaming GPU, but is great for training/fine-tuning stable diffusion models.
