APU vs GPU vs NPU — What Every Silicon Architecture Actually Does, Down to the Transistor
A technical deep dive into APU, GPU, and NPU architectures — memory hierarchies, interconnects, programming models, and why your laptop has all three on one chip.
The von Neumann Bottleneck Is the AGI Bottleneck — Why All Modern Chips Are Still Stuck in 1945
Every chip described in the APU vs GPU vs NPU post — including Apple M4, AMD Strix Point, and NVIDIA H200 — is fundamentally a von Neumann machine. The separation of compute and memory is not just a performance bottleneck; it's the single biggest hardware barrier to AGI. Here's why, with the numbers.
