Tensor Cores are specially developed hardware units inside of an Nvidia graphics card that enable mixed-precision computing by accelerating deep-learning AI workloads.

They are far more power efficient than the CUDA cores of your graphics card and are more powerful than CUDA .

The tech is the hardware that power Nvidia 's AI upscaling tech known as DLSS .

Tensor Cores are specifically-designed hardware units found inside Nvidia graphics cards.

They are specifically designed to accelerate AI workloads, such as machine/deep learning.

As the technology has matured, the types of high-precision output have deepened significantly.

They now facilitate significantly faster performance when compared to what's possible from regular GPU cores.
