That’s definitely worth celebrating, and we are also happy to hear that TinyGPU v3.0 will arrive towards the end of this year. Stay tuned.#OpenHardware #FPGA #ASIC pic.twitter.com/vgfg2ZehAuJuly 31, 2026Above you can see the TinyGPU v2.0 SKY 25d “standalone GPU” silicon in action. TinyGPU v3.0 ASIC details and delivery scheduleNo sooner has TinyGPU v2.0 materialized than the excitement over TinyGPU v3.0 begins to build. New and significant in TinyGPU v3.0 is the programmable pixel shader. This Chameleon demo is a tribute to the #GeForce 3, the first programmable GPU released 25 years ago.
