The world's ‘tiniest GPU’ heads to production — 200,000-transistor TinyGPU v2.0 can render gamepad-manipulated 3D images with up to 1K triangles in real-time

The TinyGPU v2.0, deemed the world's 'tiniest GPU,' has been updated by designer Pongsagon Vichit and is set for production. With around 200,000 transistors, this GPU can render 3D images in real-time, supporting up to 1K triangles. Despite its modest specs, such as frame rates of 7.5 to 15 fps at low resolutions, the TinyGPU v2.0 showcases interactive 3D vector-to-raster conversion and GPU transformation & lighting technology akin to Nvidia's GeForce 256. The design includes features like a 4-bit double buffer, 8-bit depth buffer store, and backface culling. The TinyGPU v2.0 has been submitted for production and will cost roughly $1,500 for Vichit.
