Isn't Tesla's FSD computer best compared to Google's TPU? Both use integer operations instead of floating point and are optimized for matrix operations.
It's a great product and genuinely impressive, but you're comparing specialist vs generalist hardware. Half an order of magnitude improvements are table stakes, otherwise it's crazy not to just buy off the shelf.
My 2070 Super does 9 TFLOPs but it's paired with an 3900X which barely does 1... is my graphics card an order of magnitude better than my CPU?
