Intel HD Graphics 500 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

Comparison of GPU cores for Intel HD Graphics 500 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.
