Nvidia surprised the world with the arrival of the latest graphics processing unit called the Titan Xp. Upon the release of its specifications and features, reports were quick to compare it with the GTX 1080 Ti to see if it has what it takes to steal the show from its predecessor.
To begin with, both GPUs sport Pascal-based architectures. But right at the main technical specs, consumers will easily spot the huge difference between the two. For one, the slightly older GTX 1080 Ti is powered with 3,584 of Nvidia's Compute Unified Device Architecture cores while the Titan Xp has 3,840 of them. CUDA is a parallel computing platform developed by Nvidia that allows for an increased computing process of the GPU.
According to Nvidia, both GPUs have a 1,582-megahertz boost clock speed. However, Titan Xp's memory speed is a tad higher at 11.4 GB per second compared to GTX 1080 Ti's 11 GB per second operation.
