We are hoping to do some more investigation and get counts on the actual number of cores and vector units included on the upcoming graphics processor but the image doesn't quite have enough focus for us to do it easily. There appears to be 32 cores paired with 32 vector processing units - a 1-to-1 ratio we were told about last year.
