Article: Computational Efficiency for CPUs and GPUs in 2012

Room: Moderated Discussions
New computational efficiency data shows GPUs with a clear edge over CPUs, but the gap is narrowing as CPUs adopt wide vectors (e.g. AVX). Surprisingly, a throughput CPU is the most energy efficient processor, offering hope for future architectures. Our data also shows some advantages of AMD's Bulldozer, and the overhead associated with highly scalable server CPUs.

Comments and feedback welcome!
