An amateur designer, Pongsagon Vichit, has successfully tested the TinyGPU v2.0, a small GPU silicon chip that renders 3D graphics. This chip, developed through the Tiny Tapeout community, packs approximately 240,000 transistors and achieves frame rates between 7.5 and 15 FPS. Vichit is already preparing for the next iteration, TinyGPU v3.0, which is slated for release in late 2026 or early 2027 and will include a programmable pixel shader inspired by DirectX 8. AI
