Making a Mountain out of a Mali: What a Billion Chips Really Means
As you might already know, given that we’ve mentioned it just a few times before, Mali is the number 1 shipping GPU in the world. More than 1 Billion Mali GPUs were shipped by our partners in 2016.
A BILLION.
Personally, that number is just a bit too big for me to visualise given that we usually only see hundreds, or possibly thousands, of any given thing in our day to day lives. I mean, I understand that 1Bn equals 10 to the power of 9, or a thousand times a million – but it’s a number so big that it’s really difficult to relate to the world around us. Probably the closest I can get is population. It means we effectively shipped a GPU for every single person in the US, UK, Indonesia, Pakistan and Brazil put together. Now it starts to make sense, but it got me thinking, are there any other ways we can quantify the success of Mali GPUs?
