The Missing Nvidia GPU Glossary

Looks nice. I'm not sure if this is the place for it, but what I am always searching for is a very concise table of the different GPUs available with approximate compute power and costs. Lists such as wikipedia [1] are way to complicated.

Yeah, there's a tension between showing enough information to be useful for driving decisions and hiding enough information.

For example, "compute capability" sounds like it'd be what you need, but it's actually more of a software versioning index :(

Was thinking of splitting the difference by collecting up the quoted arithmetic (FLOP/s) and memory bandwidths from the manufacturer datasheets. But there's caveats there too, e.g. the dreaded "With sparsity" asterisk on the Tensor Core FLOP/s of recent generations.

I was looking for a simple table recently- outlining say how the shared memory or total register size/SM varies between generations (Something like that Wiki table). It was surprisingly hard to find those info.
