Graphics Performance
The Tesla M10 scores 3,173 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Maxwell (2014−2017) architecture (codename: GM107), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 640 ×4 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 40 ×4 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ×4 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.672 TFLOPS ×4 — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1306 MHz from a base of 1033 MHz.
