Can anyone explain in relatively lay terms how Apple's neural cores differ from a GPU? If they can run stable diffusion so much faster, which normally runs on a GPU, why aren't they used to run shaders for AAA games?
They're designed to run ML specific functions like matrix multiply and stuff. Nvidia has a similar idea in "tensor cores". I think because they're low but operations like 8 or 16 bit which is faster but too low res for GPU work.
