We're actually using #Karma #XPU in production right now for some water (where we don't need subsurface scattering). It takes just a few minutes to render (on an RTX 3090Ti) compared to 2 hours (on a Threadripper CPU). As long as the scene fits onto your graphics card...
💡 Interesting news... Intel AVX-512 becomes AVX10
I remember a year or two ago, Pixar had worked with Intel to take advantage of AVX-512 in its XPU tech, but then Intel seemed to limit AVX-512 support to only a few of its CPUs. AVX10 seems like good news 👍
