TOPS on Zen 3 or AMD Rx Graphs GPU ( Trillions operations per second )

The new cpu from amd have 40 or more TOPS correctly ? and the zen 3, example 5700x, 5800x have Tops ? (Trillions operations per second)

or the RX 6000 and RX 7000, have tops or only tera flops ?

GPUs are generally measured only in TFLOPS and not TOPS. For a list of AMD GPUs and how much TFLOPS each one has you can have a look here:

Current and previous gen AMD CPUs in the 7000 and 5000 series do not list TOPS as they do not have any AI accelerators. TOPS is a hardware-specific measurement of AI capabilities. This doesn't mean you can't run AI models on those CPUs however, as you most certainly can run model inference on them albeit at a much slower speed.

 

Don't ask me why the industry has limited GPU specs to only TFLOPS and the newer NPU specs to TOPS. I think it's because TOPS makes for a nicer number on marketing material and comparing an NPU's TFLOP number to that of GPUs would pale in comparison.
