Well, the existing RPi's GPU has 24 GFLOP capability, which is roughly the same as the GPU on the baseline i.MX6 (the Vivante GC2000).

Now, a lot of that capability has historically been unavailable to RPi users, but they're slowly responding to pressure and opening up the GPU.

But I also saw the headline and was hoping for some nice little GPU compute add-on the RPi. Oh well. I still think this is a very promising form factor for the RPi.

It's pretty nuts that a tiny little thing like this has gigaflops of compute power.

I agree -- I know it's silly but I still marvel at the fact that the $10 microcontroller I'm working on has almost the processing power of the laptop I used in college in the 90s (and in the case of the RPi, vastly more).

Does the compute module have the GPU on it? Or is it on the connector board?

[Narishma]

The GPU is part of the SoC, which is exactly the same on the Pi and on the compute module.

Thanks! I didnt know this.

I actually just received my first RPi's on friday...
