The idea is having specialized processors offload time-consuming tasks from a computer's CPU, much like how a GPU performs graphics operations in the main CPU's place. The term was coined by Ageia to describe its PhysX chip. Several other technologies in the CPU-GPU spectrum have some features in common with it, although Ageia's product was the ...
Graphics cards are sometimes called discrete or dedicated graphics cards to emphasize their distinction to an integrated graphics processor on the motherboard or the central processing unit (CPU). A graphics processing unit (GPU) that performs the necessary computations is the main component in a graphics card, but the acronym "GPU" is ...
A Cyrix Cx486S processor. Compatible with the Intel 486SX. Introduced in May 1993, the Cyrix Cx486S, codenamed M5, was designed to be compatible with the Intel 486SX and like the Intel part, did not have a floating point unit onboard which was of little concern to an average user at the time due to most games and applications using purely integer-based code.
Nvidia graphics cards, Nvidia nForce motherboards, computer power supply units, desktop PCs, AGEIA PhysX PPUs BFG Technologies was a privately held U.S. -based supplier of power supplies and video cards based on Nvidia graphics technology and a manufacturer of high-end gaming/home theater computer systems.
The article suggested that a PhysX rewrite using SSE instructions may substantially lessen the performance discrepancy between CPU PhysX and GPU PhysX. In response to the Real World Technologies analysis, Mike Skolones, product manager of PhysX, said [ 32 ] that SSE support had been left behind because most games are developed for consoles ...
The Infinity Cache is made up of two sets of 64 MB cache that can run on its own clock rate independent from the GPU cores. The Infinity Cache has a peak internal transfer bandwidth of 1986.6 GB/s and results in less reliance being placed on the GPU's GDDR6 memory controllers. [ 8 ]
Additionally, the X99 chipset supports a configurable layout of the PCI Express 3.0 lanes provided by the processor, which may be configured as up to two ×16 links and one ×8 link, or up to five ×8 links (the total number of available PCI Express 3.0 lanes depends on the processor used).

The X370 chipset supports multiple graphics cards. But the number of available PCIe lanes depends on the CPU/APU. Support for Zen (including Zen+, Zen 2 and Zen 3) based family of CPUs and APUs (Ryzen, Athlon), as well as for some A-Series APUs and Athlon X4 CPUs (Bristol Ridge based on the Excavator microarchitecture) Supports PCIe 3.0 [12 ...
