I suspect it’s 32MB of coverage, which would be 2,000 entries which is a typical TLB size these days. Although then what’s he talking about the tile buffer?

2000 is probably the L2 TLB size, L1 TLBs are usually in the order of 10s of entries (but as I pointed out the decisions you make for graphics engines are very different from those you make for CPUs)
