The Evolution of Shaders

computer.org Joshua Roller 2025-10-10 11:40:22

Nvidia launched the first GPU in 1999 with the GeForce 256, pioneering hardware T&L. In 2001, the GeForce 3 introduced programmable shaders, marking the shader era. Over 24 years, GPUs advanced massively, from 57 million transistors in NV20 to 92 billion in Blackwell (B100). Shader counts exploded—from 16 in 2007 to over 21,000 in 2025. Unified shaders appeared in 2007, and AI-focused Tensor Cores began in 2017. Despite huge performance gains, GPU prices rose modestly: a high-end card cost $800

These Headphones With Bose Sound and 100 Hours of Battery Won’t Destroy Your Wallet

I’m a fan of Bose audio. In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless
