Great article on a very interesting topic! Spotted two small typos:
(Apple Boosts Performance, Power Efficiency with Smaller Registers)
Apple’s engineers emphasized that using half-precision offers much better performance and power efficiency of single-precision, making it clear that their architecture is focused on half-precision as a primary design point.
"of" -> "than"
(Free Conversion Unlocks Half-Precision for Programmers)
According to Apple’s presentation, data type conversion is free; which suggests that the conversion hardware that sits in the standard data path.
-> delete the second "that"
