Sure. But there is also a lot of Metal code out there in order to make iPads fly. And they really do fly, I was amazed what kind of performance I could get out of them. For example, I had an algorithm running on my iMac Pro, programmed in Swift, utilising all of its 18 cores fully. It took about 5 minutes on a typical example. Then I recoded the algorithm for Metal, and it runs on the same example on my iPad Pro in under 10 seconds.

So, my bold prediction: Apple is going to shred Nvidia to pieces within the next 10 years.
